Alerting

Throttle Alert per result for multiple unique values

I created an alert that outputs multiple application names when the alert query conditions are met. I want to receive a separate alert for each application and throttle each one for an hour. I tried using $result.application$ as the "suppress results containing field value" input, but that prevented any alerts coming in after the first one was created. Is there any way to throttle alerts for each specific value without having to manually type in each one, as there are hundreds.

Thanks

In savedsearches.conf

[alert_name]
action.email = 1
action.email.to = test@test.com
alert.suppress = 1
alert.suppress.period = 1h
alert.track = 1
counttype = number of events
cron_schedule = 1 * * * *
dispatch.earliest_time = -1h@-1m
dispatch.latest_time = now

This will email the result as a table and should suppress for next 1 hour until next search is executed
