First, search for both SERVICE_STOP and SERVICE_START events.  Then use the dedup command to get the most recent event for each host.  Filter out the SERVICE_START events and anything that happened in the last 10 minutes.  Whatever is left will be a SERVICE_STOP event at least 10 minutes old without a matching SERVICE_START.

index=foo sourcetype=XYZ type IN (SERVICE_START SERVICE_STOP)
| dedup host
| where type=SERVICE_STOP AND _time < relative_time(now(), "-10m")
