Not a Legato user but...

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi? 
d=1&query=legato&Go=Go shows several related checks. The first seems  
most interesting and leads to

http://www.net17.de/projekte/nagios/

check_nw appears to be able to check log status (among other items) --

     print "! LOGSTATUS - Check Networker Log for failed  
Clients                                  !\n";
     print "! check_nw -t LOGSTATUS [-l path/to/logfile] [-m Minutes  
ago]                         !\n";
     print "!                       [-p  
savegroupname1,savegroupname2,savegroupname3,....]
