Create a dashboard when an alert is triggered?

Use case: detect outliers

Alert is triggered when an outlier is detected. For now I can send an email containing some information from this trigger.

How I want to do a dashboard including the past data and detected outlier when this outlier is found.

I am not sure of the workflow. There is no option of dashboard when sending the alert through email.

Does it means that I have to save the alert result into an lookup file and schedule another dashboarding?

The dashboard itself can only be scheduled in terms of time. I can do it and then use where to find if there is an outlier. If yes, there is no way to send an alert.

How should I do it?

Presumably, the alert is based on the results of a search with particular time parameters. Can you reproduce the search in a dashboard with tokens for the time range. Then you can call this dashboard with the time range token values based on the alert.

Can you explain more detailedly about the tokens?

Yes the alert is based on scheduled search and only alert when a condition is met (result>0). How do I automate this token and activate the dashboard?
