Alerting

How can I get the matching events count into an alert message?

Hello,

I created an alert, if a search brings up less than 1,000 results. How can I add the exact number of results to the alert message?
Currently the trigger is "Number of results" "is less than" 1,000. When I mark "Inline Table" I get all results in the mail, but not the count.

How can I get the count of all events into the alert mail?
Thank you!

Take a look at the documentation here. $job.resultCount$ is what you are looking for, I think.

In the email, you can reference the token $job.resultCount$, which will contain the number of results returned by the job.
For information about other tokens you can use in the email, here is the documentation:
