Hi Community  
We would like to monitor the agent-status (status = unhealthy) of an elastic agent but only with a specific integration policy included.  
what would be the best way to create such a monitor in Kibana?

Thanks for reaching out, @MGBSLC. Have you considered creating a query to check for documents in `.fleet-agents` where `status = unhealthy` that also matches a specific integration policy and creating a rules-based alert in Kibana?
