Alerting

Custom Trigger Condition (Percent increase)

If I wanted to add a "custom" trigger condition to an alert that would trigger the alert only if the search results increase by x percent over 1 hour. How would I go about doing this?

hello there,

will recommend to create a full search that will capture your condition and alert only on "true" or "false" instead of writing the condition in the custom trigger alert.
