• Write a search to find the message in Splunk bar
• Save as alert
• Select the schedule of the alert
• Under trigger conditions select Number of Results and then is greater than 0 option
• Select your trigger actions

am clear about the process of creating an alert. Could you please help me in writing the splunk query whenever we get a pop up message in the splunk message tab?

Alright !

Try this

| rest /services/messages| table title message severity timeCreated_iso published splunk_server author

This doesnt meet my requirement.

My issue here is For example: in the message tab some warning or error message like "indexer is down or too many streamings to the target" is popped out then the same thing has to be triggered as an alert whenever there is a message pop up in splunk bar.

There is no list of these messages. But you should be able to find these in the "_internal" index. Create alerts for these as you would a normal event.
