How to create a new alert under name (failed-handshake) in the custom email template?

Hi Splunkers,

I spent a long time trying to figure out this story where: 

I need to create a new alert under name (failed-handshake) in the custom email template to notify tech arch teams if we receive handshake errors in the web logs.

The base search: index=X sourcetype=Y "Failed handshake due to 15 seconds timeout on channel"   I had some of these errors on 6/10, so I need to adjust the time range to build/test search and alert.

The alert should display:

1) the host 

2) the number of handshake errors
3) the time of the first instance of the error on the host

4) the time of the most recent instance of the error on the host

Is there anybody can help with  this please?
