Hello, I need your help!!!

I want to make an alert if a search doesn't accomplish a certain result!

Example:

index=mf MFSOURCETYPE=SYSLOG SYSLOGSYSTEMNAME=PLB1 OR PLB2 OR PLB3 OR PLB4 |stats count by SYSLOGSYSTEMNAME if that search doesn't bring me PLB1, PLB2, PLB3, PLB4 then alert me!

How can I make the search? I think I need to use the eval and if.
