Hi Team,

I want to schedule an alert something like there is no event for a particular index for more than 15 minutes it should trigger an email notification to our team.

For example: Index= os

So kindly help with the query is setting up the same.

Hi @anandhalagaras1,

you should schedule an alert, tu run every 15 minutes, running a search like this:

index=os earliest=-15m@m latest=now

that has as activation condition results=0ans as action send email.

In other words:

  • run the above search,
  • click on "Save as Alert",
  • insert the informations requested:
    • cron */15 * * * *
    • activation for results=0
    • action=send eMail.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
