This monitor checks the status of the syslog daemon by running a WSMan query to see if the syslog daemon is running. If you receive an alert from this monitor, check the Diagnostic and Recovery results to see if further action is required.
An unhealthy state indicates that the Syslog daemon is currently unavailable.
Check the service on the system by running 'ps -ef | grep syslog' or by viewing the diagnostic in the Operations Manager console. If it is down, you can start the process using the command 'service syslog restart' or by clicking the recovery link in the Operations Manager console.
For root cause analysis, first check the system log file (/var/log/messages), and view any related entries at the time of failure.
