I have rsyslog starting sec with lines like:

action(type="omprog" name="sec-heartbeat" binary="/usr/bin/sec 
--conf=/etc/sec/missing-logs --intevents --intcontexts 
--dump=/tmp/dumpfile.missing-logs --debug=5 --log=/var/log/sec-missing-logs 
--input -" template="manual" hup.signal="USR2")

I'm running into a problem where sec is 'lost' by rsyslog. Rsyslog starts a new 
copy, but the instance of sec continues to run (and causes alerts based on the 
lack of new input)

the log at debug level 5 shows things like:

Wed Jul 15 11:14:01 2015: SIGUSR2 received: closing outputs and restarting 
logging

what can I do to try and get more info from sec about what it's seeing happen?

This was happening every few weeks, but today it's happening much more 
frequently (twice in a minute in the sample logs above)
