Email alert if Canary Admin, Messages count in last x hours > set limit
If you open Canary Admin, the messages tile shows you the warning, error, and fatal count for the last 24 hours. It might help if there was a way to setup an email alert in case this number (or better yet the count in the last 1 hour) was higher than a configurable value. In this way, if something started going crazy we might be able to realize it and react more quickly. Normally such a problem might already be visible to users if there is an actual problem they are seeing that message count increasing would help with, but still.
I'm not sure how important this might be but the other day we had an issue where I think an alert like this might have helped. When I found out about issues that next morning, I saw a very high count:

Maybe even a diagnostic tag on message count per hour or something would help and then we could setup an alert on that in addition to being able to see it on a trend chart.

Hi ,
If you have the Diagnostic Health tags enabled through the Admin tile, there is a [MsgLogErrorsLast2m] which measures the number of errors in message log for the last two minutes. There is also an [ErrorCount] tag for each Canary service. I believe these are also in the last 2 minutes.
