Hi ,

Below is the query that will run over last 2 weeks of data but I want an alert to trigger only if "good count" is greater than 4 in last 24hrs .

index=abc sourcetype=abc| stats max(resptime) as responstime by _time, name | eval absDev=(abs('response'-median)) | streamstats window=1000 current=true median(absDev) as medianAbsDev by "name" | eval lowerBound=(median-medianAbsDev*exact(20)), upperBound=(median+medianAbsDev*exact(20)) | eval isgoodcount =if('response' < lowerBound OR 'response' > upperBound, 1, 0) | stats sum(isgoodcount) as "good count" by "name" | where 'good count'>4| sort -"good count"

Hi kteng2024,
what's your question?
doesn't this search run?
It seems to be OK (I'd not use apex only brackets and only when there are spaces).
Maybe do you want to calculate upperBound and lowerBound for 4 weeks and responstime for two hours?
If this is your need try something like this

index=abc sourcetype=abc earliest=-2h
| stats max(resptime) as responstime by _time, name 
| eval absDev=(abs(response-median)) 
| append [
     | index=abc sourcetype=abc earliest=-4w
     | eval absDev=(abs(response-median)) 
     | stats median(absDev) as medianAbsDev by "name" 
     | eval 
          lowerBound=(median-medianAbsDev*exact(20)), 
          upperBound=(median+medianAbsDev*exact(20)) 
     | fields medianAbsDev lowerBound upperBound
     ]
| eval isgoodcount =if(response'< lowerBound OR response>upperBound, 1, 0) 
| stats sum(isgoodcount) as "good count" by "name" 
| where 'good count'>4
| sort -"good count"

Please check the field names.

Bye.
Giuseppe

Thank you for the reply. I want the query to run on last 3 weeks data to calculate deviation but trigger alert only if goodcount is greater than 5 in last 4 hrs .
