Splunk Alert on defined condition

[mbasharat]

Hi,

I have a SPL search that is producing counts for two values for my monitored application's transactions, Successful and Failure.

I need a conditional alert that triggers every time Failure count exceeds Successful count by at least 10 within 5 mins.

My search is running every 5 minutes looking back at data that comes within 5 minutes. I need custom Trigger Condition under Alert's Edit please.

Sample (Normal):
result count
Successful 100
Failure 10

Sample (Alert):
result count
Successful 100
Failure 111

Thanks in advance!

I find it easier to have the alert trigger when the number of results is not zero. Then it's just a matter of making the search return no results except in the error condition.

Share your current SPL and we can help craft it.
