Alert when a policy or software install fails repeatedly on a host #54113

Description

@kc9wwh

Interpretation

How do you interpret the customer's words?
The customer wants an alert, not a dashboard, when the same host keeps failing a policy or software install past a set threshold. A few failures are normal, but repeated ones mean a device needs manual attention, and no one has time to check thousands of hosts by hand.

What's Fleet missing?
Fleet shows overall policy/software health but can't surface which hosts are failing the same check repeatedly, and has no outbound alert when failures cross a threshold.

What does the customer's ideal workflow look like?
Set one global failure-count threshold (e.g., 5); once a host hits it on the same policy or install, Fleet pushes a webhook/Slack/email notification naming the host and the failing check.
