Alerting

How to send an email alert on error?

I have an alert that is setup to send an email when there are no results. The search is returning an error, no results, but no emails are getting sent. Is there a way to make an error the trigger for an alert?

It should be the case that if you use the graceful=false parameter to the sendemail command, an email will get sent on error.
