Monitoring Alerts for Email Diagnostics

Hi all. I'm trying to set up some monitoring/ alerts for my service Now mailbox. We recently had an incident where mails were stuck in the mailbox due to a misconfiguration (our IT team changed the auth type from OAUTH to 2FA).

I stumbled across the very helpful Email Diagnostics section in Service Now, which would have helped me catch this issue sooner. I now want to setup monitoring and alerts for when the processing time breaches a threshold, or when the SMTP/ IMAP connections are not showing as successful. 

The tricky part is I believe I can set up email alerts to let me know this is happening, but that's not useful when the issue is that emails aren't sending lol. 
Is there a way to set up alerts within service now so system admins get push notifications when certain conditions are met? 
If this is not possible within service now, can anyone recommend a third party way of achieving this, possibly by using the API? Thanks in advance!

Edit: I've been looking into it and I think I could accomplish this through Scheduled Jobs. 
Does anyone know how I'd write a script for a scheduled job to check for a field, say SMTP Process Time, is over a certain value and then create a High Priority incident for it? 
Thanks!!
