Alerting

Can I set up an alert based on a sum

I'd like to set up an alert based on whether the sum of a column is greater than a certain value. I have this

<search> | stats sum(visitors)

Which returns the sum of visitors as a single value. Can I set up an alert that triggers when the sum of visitors is greater than 50?

@adamfrisbee you can use Alert Trigger Condition to fire alert when threshold is breached.

search sum(visitors) > 50
