How to trigger custom alert with source condition

PotatoDataUser
Explorer

I have a index with 7 sources of which I utilize 4 sources.

The alert outputs data to a lookup file as its alert function and is written something like this.

index=my_index  source=source1 OR source=source2 OR source=source3 OR source=source4
stats commands
eval commands
table commands etc.

I want to configure the alert to run only when all the four sources are present.
I tried doing this.

But the alert isnt running even when all 4 sources are present.

Please help me on how to configure this.

Is your search wide enough to cover events from all four sources? Does the alert trigger if you reduce it to 3?

Yes the search covers all 4 sources, when I run the search manually and check the events I see all the 4 sources present.
