What does 'link down" mean when viewing output of sh logging for a specific logging to server?

On a 3560 I have (2) syslog servers defined. Both are up and operational and reachable via ping from the switch.  However on the second defined logging server on the output of the sh logging command it states a "link down" (see below for command output).  This syslog server is not receiving any syslog traps defined.  The logging defined is logging trap warnings.  I have verified trap messages are in the log output at the defined severity level and above(error/critical).  My assumption is that the link down has something to do with why no syslog is being sent to this server. 

   Logging to x.x.x.x  (udp port 514,  audit disabled,
              authentication disabled, encryption disabled, link up),
              225 message lines logged,
              0 message lines rate-limited,
              0 message lines dropped-by-MD,
              xml disabled, sequence number disabled
              filtering disabled
