Run nodes through our alert manager so that we can define within the Rule Manager alerts against the following info:
triggered
doorman/tasks/node_offline_checks
since_last_result
since_last_result_days
since_last_result_seconds
since_last_checkin
since_last_checkin_days
since_last_checkin_seconds
since_last_checkin_to_last_result
since_last_checkin_to_last_result_days
since_last_checkin_to_last_result_seconds
For example, a decent start might be to alert when a node last checked in or submitted a result more than 7 days ago, and alert if the time between the last result and the last check is more than 2 days.
This catches those instances where a node completely goes offline, or rocksdb gets corrupted. In the latter case, we observed osquery continuing to fetch a configuration, but never actually posting any new results.
