CES event callback support

There are no events for CES that can be used with `mmaddcallback`. If I run `mmhealth node eventlog`, I see lots of events, such as nfs_active, nfs_in_grace, handle_network_problem_info, nodestatechange_info, ces_network_ips_down, etc. It would be helpful to be able to monitor and be alerted tothese events asynchronously.

    Here we described a way to plug-in any kind of external service to the events: https://www.spectrumscaleug.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/SSSD19DE-Day-2-B09-Integrating-IBM-Spectrum-Scale-in-external-monitoring-systems.pdf

    It needs some scripting from the customer though. Is this a possible short (or long) term fix for your requirement?

    Hello,
    we use SNMP for monitoring your mentioned issues. It works very well.
    Maybe this is an option for you?

    Kind regards
