Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 Process Syslog Monitor
The Syslog daemon is not running. Check the Diagnostic and Recovery results to see if further action is required.
The Syslog daemon implements message logging and forwarding to files and users.
An unhealthy state indicates that the Syslog daemon is not running.
Check the service on the system by running 'ps -ef | grep rsyslogd' or by viewing the diagnostic in the Operations Manager Console. If it is down, you can start the process using the command 'service rsyslog 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.
