How to setup an alert but omit certain time of day?

Hello All,

I'm trying to do a search "found ANC VITC in source 01:00:00;00" which works just fine, but I would like to omit these errors from the UTC times of 01:00:00;00 - 01:00:00;05 because between those times the 01:00:00;00 timecode is legit.  Is this possible?

A co-worker believes there is a result object "called_time" but I'm unclear of the syntax use.

FYI, solution found by a co-worker.  Here is the search that omits/filters 1am UTC from the results (a second before and after):  

index=morpheus6* "Found ANC VITC in source 01:00:00;00" | where !((date_hour = 1 AND date_minute = 0 AND date_second = 0) OR (date_hour = 00 AND date_minute = 59 AND date_second = 59))

The ones at 01:00:00;00 to 01:00:00;03 are legit.  The others are errors.
