Can you try this:

|metadata type=sources | eval since=now()-lastTime | search since>=600 | search source="*error.log*" OR source="*systemout.log*"

Try this:

| stats count 
| eval source="/logs/Test1/error.log, /logs/Test1/systemout.log, /logs/Test2/error.log, /logs/Test2/systemout.log"
| makemv delim="," source 
| mvexpand source 
| append 
    [ search ... whatever search you would use to find these transactions from these files that includes the source] 
| stats sum(eval(if(isnull(_time),0,1))) as count by source
| where count < 1

Then set your alert to look back 10 minutes and trigger condition to Number of Results > 0
