Is there a way to email on loss of data?

vellecadp:
I have a Davis VP2 (6152) with a data logger reporting to Weather Display on a Windows 10 machine.  Every now and then, automatic Windows updates knock my system offline when it restarts.  WD restarts, but no data flows.  Is there a way to have WD send me an alert?  I searched the FAQ but did not locate any information.

Thanks!

Joel:
As a workaround, AWEKAS sends an email when they don't receive data from my WD after 2 hours

waiukuweather:
what do you have to do to get the data to flow again?

bchwdlks:
If Weather Display will not do this, Windows 10 has a "Task Scheduler". You should be able to use that to periodically check the time stamp of a data file coming from the logger. When it does not change then send a notification.

jelliott:
Joel's mention of an email notification would solve this issue nicely.  How do you set this up?

FYI, it is possible to download frequent Win 10 updates and delay installation and rebooting -- for a while.  This alleviates, but does not solve the issue.  Eventually a reboot will be forced. Getting timely email notification when data stops uploading would be helpful.
