I am using linux, and I want the daemon to be as responsive as possible to log events, so I think I would rather have it sit on the same box as where the log is produced. (Perhaps I'm wrong about this?) So I'm going to try Cary's ProcessProtocol approach, and if that doesn't work, Glyph's LoopingCall with a read() approach.<div>

running the twisted daemon on the other box, and sending notifications<br>
if the heartbeat from the monitored machine stops.<br>

I was working on a project recently to set up a monitor a RFID based<br>
access control system for building, that runs on<br>
twisted/openwrt/linux, we used an approach like this.<br>

The link below shows a sample twisted python file that runs on a<br>
monitoring machine.<br>
