Alerting

Alerts: Getting Multiple Values into Alert

Hi Guys,

I am not sure if this has been asked before (as I couldn't find anything on this issue).

I am working on a issue in which I have to create an alert for the thread count from 6 different servers, they come in as different log entries into splunk. So what I am looking for is a way to get these 6 values into the alert and trigger if any of these 6 crosses the threshold (one of the possible solution is creating 6 alerts and keeping track of each server separately, but I am looking for a way to get this done through one Alert only).

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

Do the Threadcount from these 6 servers (assuming they are forwarders) go to central indexer(s)?
