How can i check for forwarders that have not sent a specific sourcetype,source,host within x time?

[Chris_R_]

Is there any way to check for forwarders that have not connected recently and include a "sourcetype, source or host" value from that down host?
Perhaps a subsearch with the metadata search for down forwarders?

| metadata type=hosts | sort recentTime desc | convert ctime(recentTime) as Recent_Time
