I am creating test email alerts, but why they are not triggering?
Hello,
I am creating an alert to send an email out if any errors are found. So my search is source="MYPATH" ERROR. Results come up when I put "since 5/30/15." After I save it as an alert, I set it to run every hour so that I can test it. However, it never triggers. Do alerts not work with old data?
When I go to my alert and say open in search, it automatically changes it to "Last 1 Hour" so I am confused what I am doing wrong.

You have to specify a time frame and it probably defaults to "last hour". Edit your search and near the top you will see a "Start time" and a "Finish time" field as well as a "Learn more" link. Click on "Learn more" and read all about it. Then set the values as you desire.

Once the search finishes I get results so I will save it and have it run at 30 minutes of every hour

Go to Settings -> Searches, reports & alerts and search for your alert there. If it is not there, create it again and save it as an "Alert". Then you should have all the options.

Time range is the time range, when it runs is determined by the cron schedule.

I am going to try to create a new search. So I have my text... source="MYPATH" ERROR. And I will create the date and time range for since 5/30/15. And shouldn't I just run it for 15 mins of every hour so I can test it now.
