Hello,  
My project has multiple hosts, each streaming different files to different locations.  
I am looking for a way to get notified if any of the streams stops for any reason. I'd appreciate any ideas on how to achieve that.

One such idea: stream filebeat logs to the same set of destinations and parse the logs looking for keywords that indicate streaming problems.

Any other ideas?  
Thanks in advance!  
JD
