Hi,

I am using metric beats 7.11.2 and I am reporting the Windows Services from Windows module. I receive a state for about ~150 windows services.

I would like to have an alert when a given subset of them filtered by name is down (State = Stopped) or there is no reporting data.

What would be the best way to achieve this?
