Hello
I want to run a search/alert that is run in a certain timespan (for example between 18:00 and 08:00) and then sends a alert.

You can find instructions for setting up search and alerting here:

You'd use a custom schedule with a cron job like syntax. I believe the following should work, it wouldn't hurt to double check:

  • 0-8,18-21 * * *

sorry this is not clear for me what timespan you want? is it the search result timespan? or the schedule when the search/alert is run?
