Alerting

Alert with email

Hi,
I'm struggling to create email alert.
My search query:
| rex "Heap:\s(?<HeapNum>[\d\.]+)(?<unit>\w+)" | search HeapNum!=" " | eval HeapNum = case(unit="K",HeapNum/1000,unit="M", HeapNum,unit="G", HeapNum*1000) | eval critical=15000 | table _time HeapNum critical

I want, that when it reaches critical value, it sends email to me.
I created alert, but it doesn't work, can you please help with configuration?

Hi pudanelilita,
try something like this

| rex "Heap:\s(?<HeapNum>[\d\.]+)(?<unit>\w+)" 
| search NOT HeapNum=" "  
| eval HeapNum = case(unit="K",HeapNum/1000,unit="M", HeapNum,unit="G", HeapNum*1000) 
| search HeapNum>15000 
| table _time HeapNum critical

Then in the alert's condition put activation when there are results (results>0)

Bye.
Giuseppe

At first (my error!) replace

| search HeapNum>15000 

with

| where HeapNum>15000 

if you still have no results, delete the second search and then see what are the values you have for HeapNum to check if the condition is correct.

Bye.
