Hi Team,

I am looking for the help to get an alert trigger if the latest result of timechart command is 0.

Suppose i am running a search for last  8hrs with span=2hrs. so, if the result is something like below should raise an alert.

12-18-23 00:00 ---> is "0"

and also it should is display if there is "0" events in last 8hrs. as i am getting nothing, if no events during that time.



Thank you,

Hi @cbiraris,

adapt this sample to you use case:

| makeresults | eval _time=strptime("2023-12-18 02:01:01","%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| append [ | makeresults | eval _time=strptime("2023-12-18 04:01:01","%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") ]
| append [ | makeresults | eval _time=strptime("2023-12-18 06:01:01","%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") ]
| timechart count span=1h
| eval col=strftime(_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")." - ".count
| stats values(col) AS col latest(count) AS latest
| where latest=0

it shuld be something similar to this:

<your_search>
| timechart count span=1h
| eval col=strftime(_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")." - ".count
| stats values(col) AS col latest(count) AS latest
| where latest=0

Ciao.

Hi @cbiraris,

you could simplify your alert running it every two hours using a simple search:

index=your_index earliest=-2h@h latest=@h

that fires if you haven't results.
