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.

Hello @ajitshukla61116

Please find the below link which can give you better idea:

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