Symantec ProxySG must generate an alert to the console when a log processing failure is detected such as loss of communications with the Central Log Server or log records are no longer being sent.

Description
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages.
