When a field stops updating and SolarWinds data become stale is there a possibility to get an alert when that occurs and is there a future fix in the works from preventing this from occurring? Or where can I put this in a future feature?
Fields shouldn't stop updating, so I would focus here. Have you opened a support case on this issue and behavior?
yes
What fields are you referring to specifically? Without knowing more its hard to recommend a path towards resolution.
What steps have been taken if any thus far by yourself / support?
You could suggest if this may be of use and/or be an issue... but I find that clearing the information service subscriptions along with cleaning out windows temp files and a clean service restart (which I outlined in grave detail in the linked post below) to resolve numerous polling problems on the engines.

That said... I would really want to know more before doing that myself
