1. Have a binary in each machine:

2. Send a ping directly to the console

3. Using per-loglevel patchset.

4. send messages only to netconsole (this patchset)

I think I was alluding that another option (not saying that it's the best but IIUC your requirements it'd be the best fit)):

5) Add a keepalive configfs knob, if set to a non-zero value netconsole will send an empty (?) message at given interval

Pros: - truly does not require a user binary to run periodically, netcons would set a timer in the kernel Cons: - does not provide the arbitrary "console bypass" message functionality
