Legato doesn't seem to record this usefull information in any
meaningful way, except if you can try to parse the raw log files sent
to /var/adm/messages (Solaris in my case). 

Have you looked at my 'nss' script?

Stan> for some event are only 9 characters wide and report only the

The problem is that upto 6.x (for sure, haven't checked 7.x in any
detail lately since my script still works) Legato didn't provide the
level of detail you want.  Nor did they record it in a meaningful
way.
