Uptime data which created alert where the server was not rebooted

Ritu
Explorer

I have created one linux uptime or reboot alert if the server gets rebooted it will trigger the alert if the uptime<=600 secs .
Now , I have one server where the uptime value is 0sec
It has created an alert but the server was up from 90 days as per Splunk logs.
The data directly comes from the server there is no script inlined.

It would be hard to help if we do not see the raw data and the alert used.
