Alerting

Throttle based on multiple fields possible?

Hi, 

I have an alert that triggers when an employee opens a file.

This alert runs every 30 minutes so we can see these alerts fast.

When employee1 opens file1 we see the alert, and throttle based on the field "employee", because if we dont throttle then this alert keeps repeating every 30 minutes.

Problem is now that when employee1 opens file2, file3, or file4 we do not see this anymore since we have a throttle on employee..

Is there a way to throttle on a combination of employee and file so that when employee1 opens file1 we get an alert, when he opens file2 we get a different alert, but we dont keep seeing the same alerts repeating every 30 minutes?

Hi @RonWonkers ,

in Splunk Enterprise alerts it isn't possible to define fields for throttling as on Enterprise Security.

If you're speaking of Enterprise Security you can use multiple fields, otherwise it isn't possible now, maybe in a next version.

Ciao.
