Splunk is not generating alert for normal stats count output 7.0.0.

index=my_index "Response code -401" | stats count - after that I am saving this as result and keeping TH when it's count is greater than 10 , I need alert, but it's not working , not triggering alert after breaching TH. all other conditions are configured properly.

Is this common issue with stats command that we can't have alert for any string count ?

My alert setting are same , but I just want to know by we are doing stats count for any string and scheduling that as alert, why that is not working .
When I do like index=my_index "Response code -401" | stats count by host - then it's working but I don't need count by host.

I have to set TH on overall (index=my_index "Response code -401" | stats count ) value when TH exceeds more than 10 or any value but not zero.

Please suggest..
