CentOS - Aug 2012 - OT: Tool for monitoring traffic IP reception

Hi all,

 I am searching some lightweight tool to control when rsyslog didn't
receive events from a
specific host or group of hosts for x minutes/seconds.

 Only a simple tool to send an email when an alert is triggered, I
don't need flat tools like zabbix or similars.

 Does anyone know any?

try SEC: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/simple-evcorr/>

SEC can do a lot more, but your requirement can be implemented in a fairly
simple rule. The tool is rock-solid and I've been using it in a number of
projects for years.

What are your goals? 

What about monitoring the system itself?

not comparable to SEC but could also be used to monitor an (local) event.
