Good morning!
Have a question regarding syslog-ng TCP/IP connection...
Is it possible to configure an SYSLOG-COLLECTION-SERVER to give any kind of alert whenever the connection between this server and any syslog-client is dropped?
My problem is: if i plug out the network cable neither the server (AIX) nor the client (an AIX too) do recognize this within an acceptable period of time...
Does there exist something like a "SERVER-CLIENT heartbeat" ???
Or... does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem another way?
syslog-ng reports when the OS signals that the connection is broken. You could send those messages to a little perl script using the program() destination and send out alerts of your choice. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
