How to create the below alert?

abhi04 — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 19:58:37 GMT

I have below source. now I have to create an alert if any source is missing everyday. The file name changes everyday as it starts with a timestamp i.e. in this case we have "060418_1002" which will change everyday. Help me on the same.
Cant use lookup to compare as file name changes because it starts with a timestamp.

Below are the sample sources.

Hi @abhi04

why dont you create an alert in a usual way

your search | stats dc(source) as sourcecount

& in trigger conditions ---- choose Custom --- sourcecount<13

Thanks

I want to list the source as well which all are missing.

Just to understand your question better and for example
/logs/web/output/accm/060418_1002_CAP_sat1svmap504_cert_details.log
from this source ONLY this part (060418_1002_) is dynamic and changes , should events from this source be logged for the day, right?
Hint - If my understanding is true /logs/web/output/accm/CAP_sat1svmap504_cert_details.log - with
(060418_1002_CAP) removed, the remaining part for this source always remains constant?

Yes, correct.

After seeing the below answer and your comment I am more confused now,
to me the first 2 rows are from the same source but the third row is a different source, is that correct? If so this is what you need to do -
1- Use the substr function to eliminate the dynamic parts from all the source entries, let us call this field src.
2- |eventstats max(_time) as last_time by src.
3- extract the date time part from now() and the same from last_time. now() gives you today's datetime. if the extracted date times are not equal to each other, your respective src did not have any entries today.
4-I suspect though, you actualy may want to check not for today but for yesterday (assuming the source can log anytime on any given day till 11:59 PM), in that case you just need to subtract 1 day each from now() and last_time before extracting the date times to make a comparision
