Error handling with RSYNC

What would be the simplest way to check if a remote SSH rsync fails from the host?

I don't care if the file couldn't be found, if a connection couldn't be established, or if RSYNC's dog died and had to attend its funeral. How would I specify:

if RSYNC fails, do something?

EDIT: RSYNC SSH not Daemon.

you could create a bash script, such as:

if ssh <server> rsync; then
    echo "SUCCESS"
else
    echo "FAIL"
fi
