We have a job that monitors this message queue and if anything appears our
IT manager and myself get immediate notification in our email and a text to
our phones.

from: Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>
subject: Message queue QSYS/QSYSMSG

I strongly recommend that everyone create the message queue QSYS/QSYSMSG.
Any critical messages from QSYSOPR will be copied there. You will not get
the clutter like "cleanup ran" and stuff like that.

And you just might want to keep an eye on QSYS/QSYSMSG and not ignore the
messages like

Date sent . . . . . . : 07/16/14 Time sent . . . . . . : 14:28:22
CPPEA05 *Attention* Contact your hardware service provider.
Cause . . . . . : Internal analysis of an exception indicates that data
protection facilities have been lost due to a permanent failure.

Date sent . . . . . . : 12/28/15 Time sent . . . . . . : 21:22:10
CPI1164 Hot spare disk unit not operating.

Date sent . . . . . . : 07/02/16 Time sent . . . . . . : 19:07:28
CPF1397 Subsystem QBASE varied off work station DSP01 for user ROB
Cause . . . . . : The maximum number of sign on attempts specified by
system
value QMAXSIGN has been reached. The device has been varied off for
security reasons.

Just kinda speaking from experience...
