searching for non running programs in logs

Hi all,

I'm trying to find which programs from a given list haven't raised an event in the eventlog in the last timeperiod to create an alert based on it.

For an individual alert I have 

index=eventlogs SourceName="my program" | stats count as COUNT_HEARTBEAT | where COUNT_HEARTBEAT=0

which works.

How can I supply a list of programs and list which of them have a COUNT_HEARTBEAT of 0 so that I can make a generic alert?

 

Thanks,

 

Kind regards,

 

Ian

You could store them in a csv file and append that to your events then count by program name.
