[syslog-ng]Monitoring connection

[Roman Ernst]

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?


Best regards
