See the section http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#monitoring
IMHO look for Counters values, if they don't change means things may be off track. Outside this I would really look for JVM level stats like GC's. In case of Full GC's nothing from within the application would respond. I did some work on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2550 (test cases are missing). If you have free cycles can try that out, it shall open up things you can do with codahale Metrics package. Expect a bumpy ride with the patch.
