Alerting when heartbeat not received

I've got an Application Insights log being written to by a Windows Service. Is it possible to set an alert for inactivity; for instance "If not been written to in the last 15 minutes, activate an alert"?

I'm afraid there isn't such an option out of the box.
What I would recommend doing is firing your custom metric for Keep Alive with a value of 1 every so-and-so minutes, and define a custom alert (see here) on it in case the value drops below some threshold.
