can anybody tell me what are the capability required to search and trigger the realtime alert.
When I configured realtime alert with admin account its working fine but when it`s configured with normal user account its not working.

My scheduled alert working fine with normal user account .

please tell me what could be the reason for this .

Most admins deliberately disable all realtime capabilities because these searches are so horrifically detrimental to the Search Head.

Can you please check the internal logs and see if they are getting spiked because of hardware restrictions.
