Abilty to alert on EUM resources using SmartAlerts

currently The customer has the issue that sometimes google analytics is not working for our website "ccp-frontend-new". For that time they see in Instana that there are no resources loaded for GA (which is great to see).
Therefore The customer wanted to create a custom event which is alerting us if there is no activity for that. Unfortunately I'm not able to see any entity type like "website" "resource" or sth like that.

    Smart Alerts for Websites allows the ability to alert on Custom Events. This feature allows users to get alerted when there are too many or too few (business) events within the website.
    In this case, a custom event can be configured to be sent to Instana when resource(s) for Google Analytics has succeeded/failed to load, and a smart alert can be configured for that custom event.

    There is another customer asking for this feature.

    We cannot find resource Metrics in Smart Alert for Websites to create an Alert: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=websites-smart-alerts#select-an-alert

    Does the recently added ability to alert on website custom events address your problem?
