What alert search can I use to check and alert on a HF not forwarding any data.

JTS911
Explorer

Is there a heart beat from the HF I can monitor and if not detected, alert on it ?

The Monitoring Console can do that for you.

There are a number of events you can use as a heartbeat.  Search the internal index for one your forwarder's names to find them.
