Comment:

 Boost.Log does not provide a network-based sink out of the box and the
 closest you can get with the available components is with
 `text_ostream_backend` and `tcp::iostream`. I'm not familiar with
 `tcp::iostream` but I suspect the stream obtains bad `iostate` when the
 connection is closed. If so, you can unmask exceptions in the stream and
 then use
 [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/libs/log/doc/html/log/detailed/sink_frontends.html#log.detailed.sink_frontends.basic_services.exception_handling

 exception handlers] to reconnect. Please refer to Boost.ASIO documentation
 to verify that.

 You can also implement your own
 [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/libs/log/doc/html/log/extension.html#log.extension.sinks.minimalistic_sink_backend

 sink backend] where you can use the socket directly.
