How to write Hawk Rule to monitor all dependent systems for an application

My client has asked to monitor end-to-end systems for an application. I think of writing a hawk rule for the same. This hawk rule would monitor front-end web servers, middle systems like web services, ems servers, back end databases and would send out alert/email when any of the system is going in danger zone.

The fundamental question would be, how do I write a rule to monitor two data sources using one rule?
