Can I set timerange in alerts with custom time?

[mahesh27]

I am creating an alert where the time range should be from 7 to 18 and corn schedule is for 5 mins

So in my alert if i give earliest=@d+7h and latest =@d+18h will this works??
And i dont want to receive alert after this time range.

how i can do this??

Using earliest=@d+7h latest =@d+18h restricts the search to events that happened during work hours.  The alert still runs 24 hours a day so, depending on what triggers the alert, you may still receive an alert after hours.

To prevent an after-hours alert, change the cron schedule to run the alert only from 700-1800.

1-59/5 7-17 * * *

Notice how the last hour is 17 so the last alert runs at 17:56 rather than 18:56.

thankyou @richgalloway , it worked.
i have one more question.

if i want to run my alert for last 12 hours, like it should run at 6am  and 6pm , and for 6am run it should collect data from 5pm to 5am(12h) and for 6pm run it should take data from 5am to 5pm 

this can be done???

To do that, use earliest=-13h latest=-1h
