Alerting

How to configure a Heartbeat alert in a Search Head Cluster

Hi at all,
I have a Search Head Cluster with 3 SHs that sends alerts to an external system based on IBM NetCool.
Cluster deploys alerts between the three Search Heads and ensures that only one of them runs one alert.
My problem is to create a HeartBeat alert that runs on all the three Search Heads every period to be sure that the connection with IBM NetCool is OK.
How can I configure this alert to be executed at the same time on the three Search Heads?

Thank you.
Bye.

I had an answer from Splunk Support: this is not possible.
