syslog-ng's scope is to handle events, not generate them (except for
`internal()`).
If you want to achieve what you're describing, the course of action would be
to find a tool that lets you monitor the network, and then use a `syslog()` call
to generate an event. syslog-ng will then be able to take action (in "real
time") e.g. send it to nagios, or by email.
