Sourcetype not forwarding for 10 minutes

This is my stab at it:

| metadata type=hosts sourcetype="example" |  convert ctime(recentTime) as Recent_Time | where lastTime LESSTHANSYMBOL (now() - 600)

I am using this query - (now() - 600) translates to look between now and 10 minutes(600 seconds) before of now.

Does look ok ?

This is probably closer to what you'll want:

| metadata type=sourcetypes | eval search_time=(now()-600) | eval status=if(lastTime<search_time, "NOT_OK", "OK") | table sourcetype, status

Fantastic ! This gives me across all sourcetypes

You could easily translate this to a by 'host' search as well. Just change the word 'sourcetype' to 'host'.
