Have an alert that use to trigger and send an email, the alert details are

SEARCH STRING: source="WinEventLog:Security" EventCode=4740
| eval SecurityID = mvfilter(match(Security_ID,"DOMAIN*"))
| eval Computer = Caller_Computer_Name
| dedup SecurityID,_time
| table _time,SecurityID,Computer

Alert Type :Scheduled , Run on Cron Schedule
Time Range: Last 15 minutes
Cron Expression: */5 * * * *
Trigger alert when: Number of Results, is greater than 0
Trigger: For each result
Trigger Actions: Add to Triggered Alerts, Send email

On Friday last week it was working, come Monday the alert does not trigger. I've tested the search and even added to a dashboard and I can see the output in the dashboard. However the alert is never triggered, it no longer shows in the "Triggered Alerts". I've even ran the search and added the "sendemail" command which was successful. I've altered the permission on the alert to "Everyone" read/write and still has not affect. Some direction or suggestions would be welcomed.
