Use the steps described in [Create a new log search alert](../alerts/alerts-metric.md) to be notified when data collection stops. Use the following settings for the alert rule:

291-
- **Alert criteria**:
292-
- **Signal Name**: *Custom log search*.
293-
- **Search query**: `Heartbeat | summarize LastCall = max(TimeGenerated) by Computer | where LastCall < ago(15m)`.
294-
- **Alert logic**: **Based on** *number of results*, **Condition** *Greater than*, **Threshold value** *0*.
295-
- **Evaluated based on**: **Period (in minutes)** *30*, **Frequency (in minutes)** *10*.
296-
- **Define alert details**:
297-
- **Name**: *Data collection stopped*.
298-
- **Severity**: *Warning*.

Specify an existing or new [action group](../alerts/action-groups.md) so that when the log search alert matches criteria, you're notified if you have a heartbeat missing for more than 15 minutes.

Both on-premises machines and machines connected to other clouds are supported for servers today, after you have the Azure Arc agent installed. For purposes of running Azure Monitor Agent and data collection rules, the Azure Arc requirement comes at *no extra cost or resource consumption*. The Azure Arc agent is only used as an installation mechanism. You don't need to enable the paid management features if you don't want to use them.
