Alerting

Splunk alert when search result changes over last 5 minutes

I have data like this:

Item1 Item2 Status

A B On
C D Off

Now I want to generate an email alert if this search result changes over last 5 minutes. For example:
1. If status of any two items already present in search result changes, generate an alert.
2. If a new row gets added, generate an alert.
3. If a rwo gets deleted, generate an alert.

Save the result 5 minutes ago in the lookup file and use the diff command.
Is it the desired behavior?

Do these events have proper timestamps? Are they from a DB? Can you paste one or two of the actual events?
