Alert on sourcetype results

All,

I have a sourcetype that gives me different account names (eg. boa, ml, goldman etc)

sourcetype="banklogs" | dedup accountName 

I want to create an alert such that if the count of these accountNames is less than 7, it will email me with the accountName that was not reported by the sourcetype in that 24 hour period.

Is there a way to do that ( I can use stats and COUNT them always - send an email when its less than 7 - but all i want to do is to report the missing accountName)

Any ideas on how to go about this ?

Something along the lines of this might work:

sourcetype="banklogs" | timechart span=1d limit=0 count by accountName | tail 1 | fields - _time _spandays | transpose | rename "row 1" as count column as accountName | where count = 0 | fields - count

If there is a row it'll contain the accountName that signed one some time during the search interval but didn't in the last day.
