  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Ignore the message and alarm and use other means (such as    *
  * onstat) to determine the health of the RSS node.  Upgrade to *
  * 11.50.xC7 and above.                                         *

Problem conclusion

• Problem first fixed in 11.50.xC7.  The message and alarm can be
  raised in error if a large amount of in-flight, unacknowledged
  data exists between the primary and RSS server.
  

Temporary fix

• The message and alarm can be ignored.  Use other means (for
  example, onstat) to determine whether the receiver is
  acknowledging log transmission or not.
