Hi, so the company that I work for is having me explore the influx stack to see 
if its a viable platform to do alerting. I've setup the database,telegraf 
without a problem. Kapacitor works nicely out of the box. However, I am having 
some trouble learning and understanding the logic behind doing more complex 
things with TickScripts. Take for example the deadman helper function. The 
documentation states that its a Helper function for creating an alert on low 
throughput, a.k.a. deadman's switch, they show a use case but with limited 
context its not so easy to figure how & when to use it appropriately. Doing 
some googling, I see a lot of people seem to know how to use it and many more 
tick script utils, is there some online resource or somewhere to purchase some 
docs created by the Influx team?. I'm just not grasping some of the more 
serious things with tickscript from 
https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/v1.0/introduction/getting_started/ their 
basic documentation. Half the time, I'm finding solutions through github 
issues. I've been googling all over the place, is there some kind of learning 
documentation I can receive to learn the capabilities of Kapacitor? Deadman is 
just 1 of many of the helper functions or properties where I'm not fully 
grasping how to use/leverage in the tickscripts.
