Can I be alerted when a Data Connection Agent is offline?

I have an agent that went offline because the host on which it was running was shut down by mistake.
How can I be alerted when Agent are going offline ? Can I create health-check or do something else ?

There isn’t a first-class way to do this, but you could just add a directory-based sync to pull in an empty text file or something similar. You could then schedule this to run every few minutes and add a build status check on top of this. The issue with this is that this sync may queue or cause other syncs to queue due to the max number of concurrent syncs setting on the agent. This shouldn’t be a huge problem given this ‘heartbeat’ ingest should only take a few seconds.

However in my experience, having build status checks on all normal syncs can often suffice.

NB: it’s normal for agents restart during maintenance periods to install the latest versions of drivers and the agent software.
