Log Source Type Monitoring

I was checking information about monitoring of silent log sources and came across few previous posts and these official documentation:
Silent-host monitoring  |  Google Security Operations  |  Google Cloud Documentation 
Use Cloud Monitoring for ingestion insights  |  Google Security Operations  |  Google Cloud Documentation

However from what I’ve seen previously, it seems to mention individual “hosts” specifically. If I wanted to monitor and alert on a specific log type (e.g. ZSCALER_WEBPROXY) going silent, does this fall under similar circumstance? I have feeling it might, but wanted to verify in case someone has found a workaround to this.

And to that point, is there any way currently to alert (either through scheduled UDM search or YARA-L detection) for this activity? 

It’s a complicated situation where we do not actually have access to Cloud Monitoring so if there is a way to do this via SecOps that would be really helpful.
