Thank you for your reply.
We are not using email alerts from Foglight so our only options would be the Rest API or directly querying the FL tables.

Different agents have different Rules that generate alarms when they can't collect data.
You should look into "Foglight Skills 101” Webcast Series to learn more about Rules/Alarms of interest.
You can use the "Current Alarms" API to poll for the current alarms: https://support.quest.com/technical-documents/foglight/7.1.0/rest-api-reference-guide/3#422248
All APIs are restricted to a maximum number of objects returned by call, so if you expect more than 500 alarms, you may want to increase the limit so that you don't miss something important. https://support.quest.com/kb/4261411/rest-api-call-returns-501-objects-however-more-were-expected
I hope this helps.

We sometimes experience whole agent outages but that is rare. What troubles us are partial data ingestion or UI issues where the Instance View in the SQL PI screen does not show data but you do see the data if you click on individual databases.
