Hi

There are several ways to do it. You could add all your HF on MC as on indexers and create own custom groups for them. Then MC monitor those and alert you when any of those has issues. 
Another way is e.g. use this kind of solution https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Splunk-Universal-Forwarder-monitoring/m-p/304230 . You need to modify your original query by adding this Perimeter.csv  part instead of what you have starting appendcols. Then your need another Savedsearch to update that Perimeter.csv time by time.
