Hi All,

I have a table where we have job_result field, whenever job_result field has "failure" value for consecutive 5 times then we need to set up an alert.

Example

job job _name time job result
abc abc_job 14:20 Failure
def def_job 15:30 Failure
ghi ghi_job 12:22 Failure
annc annc_job 14:20 Failure
defff defff_job 15:30 Failure
ghhhi ghhhi_job 12:22 Failure

| multikv forceheader=1 
| table job job_name time job_result
| streamstats reset_on_change=t count(eval(job_result="Failure")) as fail_count by job_result
| eventstats max(fail_count) as alert_count

Hi, @manish_singh_777
this is sample code.

your_search
| table job job_name time job_result
| streamstats reset_on_change=t count(eval(job_result="Failure")) as fail_count by job_result
| eventstats max(fail_count) as alert_count

alert_count > 5, fire alert.
