I am trying to set up an alert system in which I would get alert if influx does not receive any data for 15 min below is the script we are using.

```
var data = batch
|query(''' Select last(usage_user) from prod_hosts.autogen.cpu where cpu = 'cpu-total' ''')
    .period(15m)
    .every(5m)
    .groupBy(*)

data
|deadman(1.0, 15m)
    .id('{{ index .Tags "node" }}')
    .message('Server {{ index .Tags "host" }} is OFFLINE')
    .messageField('message')
    .email()
    .to('amit.singh2@xxxxxxxxx')
    .log('/tmp/chronograf/deadman.log')
|httpOut('data')

```

But even data is not received by influx for a server in prod\_hosts tag it does not send any alert, I also checked by running query manually which you get after the kapacitor watch.
