I absolutely second what bakunin and agent.kgb wrote. It can't harm though to set up nmon in your crontab to write some performance data automatically to files so that you have something in the hand in case, when those complains about performance reach you. Makes investigation afterwards much easier. This data can also be fed to nmon2rrd which agent.kgb mentioned. Check the IBM Wiki for setting it up with cron:
Click me: NMON Documentation.

If you pick up bakunin's advice to write some small scripts, the AIX Error Report (check man errpt is the central place where problems of any kind are gathered in a list with timestamp, details, category etc. etc.
You could write or acquire a filter script, that checks this and sends you a mail for instance, if anything bad occurs.
You can also add a stanza to the ODM that can automatically trigger a action like a mail, script etc. to inform you. A script might be the prefered action, since you want to filter the entries in errpt for sure and also want to prevent a message flood etc. in case you have something producing entries like 100 per second. Had this from a connected jukebox once and I was happy not to have a plain mail being sent as action.

This thing about ODM entry is called "errnotify" and documented in the official IBM documentation online. Though here is a very summary about the error handling capabilites and facilities on AIX:
AIX for System Administrators

A very good blog in every regard anyway.

If your systems are connected to a HMC, you can additionally check there the events that come in for faults.

package require Tcl 8.2 package require uri::urn ?1.1.2? uri::urn::quote url uri::urn::unquote url _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This package provides two commands to quote and unquote the disallowed characters for url using the urn scheme, registers the scheme with the package uri, and provides internal helpers which will be automatically used by the commands uri::split and uri::join of package uri to handle urls using the urn scheme.
