Hi

You should use monitoring console and enable forwarder monitoring. Then you can just check which are down. 

Settings -> MC -> Forwarders -> Forwarders: Deployment. 

There is also alert: DMC Alert: Missing Forwarders which you could enable.

Another way is just install e.g. Meta Woot or TrackMe app and configure those to follow up your forwarders.
