Greetings Aditya,
Can I ask for a little more clarity as to what you are asking? Are you
asking the operational community for their expectations on syslog message
reliability (it seems so in (a), or are you making a statement that you do not
believe that the reliability is not sufficient (your earlier comments)? Also,
you mention in (b) that SNMP is there. That is true - are you proposing that
SNMP be used to augment syslog (if so, I would hazard to guess that that is
already a solution that is widely deployed).
Thank's,
Christopher
