Dynatrace custom ingestion metric no data

[alfaprob]

When ingesting metrics via REST POST, what would be the best way to setup a custom metric alarm if there is no data received for a long period of time?   I can't use alert on missing data because is too sensitive.    I only need an alarm if no data is received for 1hr.

Thanks

When I faced this same problem, I adjusted the ingest script to send 0 when no data is received.
