Hi @thomasantoniusc,
you could configure an alert on all the Search Heads, so if one of them fails another one detects this from internal logs and sends an alert.
Otherwise, you could use the Splunk Monitoring Console.

Yes, you are specifying a search head when pushing config, so the deployer know where to push (or at least will figure it out with the search head you gave)
If the search head you give is down, then just change to a working one.
The captain choice and deployer are unrelated, The deployer is just for deploying apps.
You can tune the captain election process from the search heads
