Actually, there is a relevant example in the SEC man
page: http://kodu.neti.ee/~risto/sec/sec.pl.html#lbAY

All you have to do is to employ Calendar rule for
checking the presence of Radius log messages. Suppose
that Radius messages are written to syslog, and they
look like this:

<date> <hostname> radius[<pid>]: <message>

Then the ruleset might look like this:

type=Calendar
time=* * * * *
desc=CHECK FOR RADIUS MESSAGES
action=event %s

type=PairWithWindow
ptype=SubStr
pattern=CHECK FOR RADIUS MESSAGES
desc=radius daemon has stopped working!
action=logonly %s
ptype2=RegExp
pattern2=radius\[\d+\]:
desc2=radius daemon is OK
action2=none
window=120

This ruleset checks for the presence of Radius
messages in the log once a minute, and if no messages
have been seen in 2 minutes, an alert is logged.
