I've used Simple Event Correlator to set a timeout for each host as the vmstat message arrives, and as long as they keep arriving, the timeout never fires. If they stop arriving, the timeout fires and generates an alert.

I think I've used the vmstat command before, but don't know a lot about it. 
I'll look more into it. Thanks for the suggestion.

One thing I like to do is to make sure all systems send a message on a frequent
basis, then look for the message to not arrive.

I like to do

vmstat -t vmstat 60

or similar as it produces a very dense data set that's useful for after-the-fact
investigation of problems
