Hello,
I would like to get most recent point in time. Then raise an alert if most recent point is more than 1 h since current time.
As far as I know deadman can get last data received by a measurement, but this last data could not be the most recent in time.
Thank you

Hello @resquej,
I believe a deadman alert will work for what you’ve described? You can set the threshold so that if your value is not reporting for 1h, you will get an alert.

Hello,
Yes, deadman works but my fault was to use in a stream instead of batch mode.
Thank you
