MMS Alert for Balancer Down status

please provide an option in Ops Manager to monitor the balancer status and add to alerts? So, we will know if balancer is not running. Note: Normally the balancer would be disabled during backups and during a scheduled Balancing Window downtime. I believe that the Balancer has a duty cycle of either 10 secs when nothing recently to balance, or 1 sec when there's a bunch of balancing to do. Any alert would need to account for these: the changelog shows chunk moves commanded the actionlog shows balancer state change history the settings collection has the balancer state

    Totally agree with this. This will be very useful to have out-of-the-box, short of having to script-out the same functionality

    I agree with Diego below. This would be a great feature to make sure things don't get missed.

    A Per Project Alert that triggers whenever the Balancer has been disabled for a specified period of time would be great to have. It will help preventing situations where the Balancer is inadvertently left disabled, leading to chunk imbalance on Sharded Clusters.
