hello I have installed logstash on a server for gathering logs from a number of client servers by installing filebeat on all of client servers and every thing works well. now I need to receive alarm if each of client servers do not send any logs to filebeat ( In other words, I want to receive alarm through email when no log is produced because for example my code is down). is possible to do that with statsd plugin and if so, how can I do that? thank you ---

I suggest you hook up the statsd plugin to [Lovebeat](https://github.com/boivie/lovebeat). ---
