All I can do seems to be setup a schedule only. Please help. Thank you.</P> Fri, 24 Jan 2020 15:24:26 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/How-to-change-Alert-type/m-p/491125#M8715 chensteven 2020-01-24T15:24:26Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/How-to-change-Alert-type/m-p/491126#M8716 <P>Alerts go out as soon as the incident is detected.
