Date, time and the message text.  The message text could be a simple "Servers 
Alive Keepalive Message" or ,optionally, add items such as cycle count or 
up/down summaries.


With syslog only the message is variable, the rest is part of the message 
format.  Severity could be variable but as a keepalives it would likely always 
be the same.


Traps are similar but offers the possibility of using the varbinds for the 
additional data.


You could do the same for the startup message.

I would like to add SNMP trap and syslog options for sending the keepalive in 
addition to email.

Often we get questions on what will be next in Servers Alive...so I'll give you
a little round-up on things that are

* almost 100% sure
       - SSH alert -> as alert execute an SSH command
       - Remote Icon -> that way you can get the tray icon of Servers Alive on
a remote system (or on the local system when desktop interaction is not
possible)
       - WMI based COM check


* very sure
       - usage of a db instead of a textfile for the entries
       - extensions in the built-in webserver


* maybe
       ...


As always all feedback is welcome....
