OSPFv3 and logging (debug)

Hello.
Does anyone use OSPFv3 ?
My question is about monitoring.
We use OSPFv3 over tunnels and have more than one tunnel to one endpoint
over different Inet channels (different providers):
So, as example this is config of one of the side:
protocol ospf office {
debug { states, interfaces, events };
tick 1;
rfc1583compat yes;
area 0.0.0.0 {
stub no;
interface "ng2" {
cost 5;
type pointopoint;
hello 10;
retransmit 3;
transmit delay 5;
dead count 3;
wait 40;
};
interface "ng0" {
cost 10;
type pointopoint;
hello 10;
retransmit 3;
transmit delay 5;
dead count 3;
wait 40;
};
interface "ng1" {
cost 30;
type pointopoint;
hello 10;
retransmit 3;
transmit delay 5;
dead count 3;
wait 40;
};
};
import filter ospfIN;
export filter ospfOUT;
}
Show OSPF neighbors:
# birdc6
BIRD 1.3.11 ready.
bird> show ospf neighbors
office:
Router ID Pri State DTime Interface Router IP
1.1.1.1 1 full/ptp 00:30 ng1 fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720
1.1.1.1 1 full/ptp 00:29 ng2 fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720
1.1.1.1 1 full/ptp 00:30 ng0 fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720
When any OSPF neighbor goes down/up then in log appear:
Neighbor fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720 changes state from " full" to "
init".
Neighbor fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720 changes state from " init" to "
2way".
Neighbor fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720 changes state from " 2way" to "
exstart".
Neighbor fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720 changes state from " exstart" to
"exchange".
Neighbor fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720 changes state from "exchange" to "
loading".
Neighbor fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720 changes state from " loading" to "
full".
But OSPFv3 use link-local address for adjacency and not global IP on the
tunnel, example:
ng0: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0
mtu 1500
inet 10.255.255.1 --> 10.255.255.2 netmask 0xffffffff
inet6 fe80::224:1dff:feb3:720%ng0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x12
inet6 2001:XXX:XXXX:XXX::1:1 --> 2001:XXX:XXXX:XXX::1:2
prefixlen 128
nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>
Thus it is impossible to understand exactly what neighbor (over what
tunnel) change it`s state because there is no iface name in log.
So monitoring system can say that some neighbor down/up but can`t say
over what tunnel this neighbor was working :(
Who faced with the same task ? How to solve?
Thanks.
P.S. Sorry for my english.
