Does Change Auditor offer any self-monitoring Health Check Alerts? (4275614)

Looking for a way to monitor the health of Change Auditor.

Change Auditor has several components in its architecture that you will need to monitor to check the application's health. However, the core component will be the Coordinator(s) as it is responsible for receiving the data forwarded by the agents and storing it in the SQL database to deliver data processing and access through the GUI clients among other internal tasks such as scheduled alerts/reports or purge/archive jobs. The agents are the second most important component as auditing events cannot be gathered without them, so making sure they are always running is crucial to not miss any.
