I have created custom alert condition as below, but still am not getting alert and email.

In the original searches, you join the results of the second search to the first search using allen_id. For the following join, you use total_id.

But I can't see how these joins could possibly work, as the second and third searches do not return fields named allen_id or total_id.

Also, your two subsearches are running over All Time - not just the search range that you chose for the outer search. Did you intend to do that?

thanks for your help. I did individual searches and getting results as expected and also entire search return the o/p as follow.

Allen_hits Rcdn_hits Total_hits AllenPercentage RcdnPercentage SLA_STATUS
0 416326 473875 0 87.855658 1234

as you suggested ,
I ran the below search query and getting only Allen and Rcdn vlaues and not getting OTH_cdcxweb values
sourcetype="access_combined_wcookie"
(uri_path="/en/US/" OR uri_path="/web/fw/" OR uri_path="/assets/")
(dc="ALLN" OR host="cdcxweb-prod
")
| eval series=case(dc=="ALLN","Allen",
dc=="RCDN" AND host="cdcxweb-prod*","Rcdn",
host=="cdcxweb-prod*","OTH_cdcxweb".
1==1,"Unknown")
| where series!="Unknown"
| chart count by series

First - do the individual searches (run separately) return any results?

Second - does the entire search return an SLA_STATUS=1234?
Third - what if you leave off the word search in the custom alert condition?

Finally, I think you could write a search that would run much faster:

sourcetype="access_combined_wcookie" 
(uri_path="/en/US/*" OR uri_path="/web/fw/*" OR uri_path="/assets/*") 
(dc="ALLN" OR host="cdcxweb-prod*")
| eval series=case(dc=="ALLN","Allen",
                   dc=="RCDN" AND host="cdcxweb-prod*","Rcdn",
                   host=="cdcxweb-prod*","OTH_cdcxweb".
                   1==1,"Unknown")
| where series!="Unknown"
| chart count by series 
| eval totalHits = Rcdn + OTH_cdcxweb
| eval AllenPercentage=(Allen/totalHits)*100 
| eval RcdnPercentage=(Rcdn/totalHits)*100
| eval SLA_STATUS=if(RcdnPercentage>80 AND AllenPercentage<20,1234)
| table Allen Rcdn totalHits AllenPercentage RcdnPercentage SLA_STATUS
