How to alert when computer group has no available computers

We would like to receive an email if a computer group (specifically a cloud) in vWorkspace has few or no available (logged off) machines.  We have vWorkspace Monitoring/Diagnostics (Foglight) installed and sending emails, but have no idea what rule to set or build to do this.

We have vWorkspace 8.6 (not .1) and vMD 5.7.1

M+ D is very customisable so it probably would be possible but it doesn't seem to have the option "out of the box" 

Immediate choices are:

1. An Enhancement Request logged for M+D (as I'm sure others would benefit from this) 

or 

2. Request the Foglight professional services team to spend time generating that alert (Contact your account manager to set this up)

Hi,

You can use PowerShell for vWorkspace and apply sending email every 15 minutes or so..

Loop through the Desktop Groups, and fetch only Logged Off machines | where {$_.LoggedOffStatus = xxx}

Send the result to email send-mailmessage -From -To -Attachment C:\Results.csv

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Yes, I am sure I can do that with PowerShell.  I thought it was something that vMD could accomplish.  Ideally, all of the monitoring processes would take place in Foglight, so that we don't have part of it in a nice monitoring application and part of it home-grown and scattered about.
