In a former life I was able to issue commands from the Netview automation table and suppress them from syslog. Not sure if this will work for you.

The problem with this is that with a number of LPARs in the plex, the SYSLOG is just full of these commands and their output making it hard to read (as in problem determination in other areas.) Along with that we're also implementing some JES2 monitoring which also issues JES2 commands via NetView and these also show up in the SYSLOG. Is there anyway I can suppress the output from these commands from the SYSLOG? There are some ways of doing this but they have shown to be of no use as the output is also be suppressed when commands are entered manually either through consoles or via SDSF. I've looked at the CRT (Command Revision Table) in NetView using NETVONLY and then REISSUE SUPPRESS for the command but this suppresses the command totally (I was under the impression that it would suppress the output from the SYSLOG but leaving it available to NetView, but doesn't.) For the JES2 monitoring I may be able to use the SDSF API to get the information and am currently testing that but for IP monitoring I can't do that. This seems a bit silly to me that NetView needs to issue these (many) commands which all show up in the SYSLOG causing this overhead.
