SLA monitoring is used to monitor the connections to remote stations within a network infrastructure. Ping tests to specified targets provide information about peer availability, packet transmission times and the number of lost packets. You can optionally define alerts that are issued when certain threshold values are exceeded, and to output these with SYSLOG or LANmonitor. The history of past checks is also stored, so helping administrators to stay up to date about the quality of the connections.
A corresponding SYSLOG client or daemon is required to receive the SYSLOG messages. Logging under UNIX/Linux is generally performed by the SYSLOG daemon that is set up as standard in these operating systems. The daemon either establishes contact with the console or writes its log to an appropriate SYSLOG file.
Under Linux, the file /etc/syslog.conf contains a definition of which facilities should be written to which log file. Please check your daemon's configuration to see if it explicitly listens to network connections.
Windows does not provide a corresponding system function. You require special software to provide the functionality of a SYSLOG daemon.
