If all hosts are setup for polling, and the default checkin period is 12
hours, then you could do something like:

a) Show me all hosts that have checked in for the last 24 hours.

b) Show me all hosts that have checked in for the last 13 hours.

Any host in "a" but not in "b", has missed at least one checkin.

No, that's good.  Probably not perfect as there seem to be limited
conditions
as to where it applies.  I'll have to experiment some more.  We will be
using
Tivoli to handle events from the actlog, but I'll try to see how useful it
is
for feedback on client schedule activity.
