Agent down notification after X minutes

Improving the way agents are monitored and alerted on is already topic on our development roadmap, and I will forward your feedback on to our product group.n

nIn the meantime, the agent down alerts are fairly important alerts; when you see those, it means that no information has come in for the affected hosts for a significant interval. Its possible that nothing (other than the lack of data collection) may be wrong, but at that point, the affected hosts are effectively not under monitoring. The web services monitors on the services tab can be an effective backup, as they can be configured to test your outward facing services from multiple points of presence on the webb.
