Back in September I posted a question about monitoring arbitrary log files and John M replied that the Platofrm 's Inventory->Connection properties has an events log section.
I've just noticed that an AIX platform does not have a Log section

That's right. Today, only the Linux platform supports that. If you look at the latest code, the superclass PosixPlatformComponent (which LinuxPlatformComponent extends, but AIXPlatformComponent does not) provides the syslog functionality - both reading syslog files and listening for remote syslog messages over a socket.
I'm not familiar much with AIX anymore; I'll assume it has syslog (or syslog like functionality). We'd just have to have someone test this code on AIX. This would require altering the agent's platform plugin, specifically, creating a new AIXPlatformComponent, extending PosixPlatformComponent, and changing the descriptor:
<platform name="AIX" class="PlatformComponent" discovery="AixPlatformDiscoveryComponent" description="IBM AIX Operating System">
so it refers to this new AIXPlatformComponent in the class= attribute. Also need to make sure this modified <platform> has child metadata that defines the new log related plugin config (essentially would need to mimic what the <platform name="Linux"> does - which is, it adds "&syslogEventConfigurationGroup;")
