Alerting

Alert condition to count total events instead of count by

I have the below sample splunk query that returns me count by Errors -

index="abc" earliest=-1h "/payment_items" "Exception"

| rex field=_raw "Exception:\s"(?.*)""
| fields request_id, Error

| dedup request_id
| eval Errors=case(Error like "%invalidArgument%","InvalidArgument", Error like "%ApplicationException%", "ApplicationException", Error like "%", Error)
| stats count by Errors
| sort by count desc

When setting up alert, I want to trigger an alert when the total count of error (not the count by individual error) is greater than 10.

How can I achieve that ? Please help ASAP

| stats count(Error) as ErrorCount
| where count>10

This should do it!

Please accept the answer if it helped, thanks!
