Hi

We currently do not have dedicated notification channel. There is echo
mechanism, that allows receiving log messages through BIRD control
socket, but that is disabled for BFD due to multithreading issue. With
reasonable syslog daemon (e.g. rsyslog), you can configure log triggers
instead of asynchronous scanning of logs.
