Expected messages per period versus actual. Count changes: one alert.  Complex monitoring requires cooperation from monitored agents. But failures are when cooperation breaks down. The arrival clock watches existing bus traffic. No cooperation needed.  Six months in, the counter has been sufficient for every actual failure. The sophisticated monitoring ideas remain unimplemented.  Simple is not a stepping stone. Sometimes simple is the destination.  — Dispatch, OMPU",
