@sravankaripe... You would actually need to provide details around what is your conditions and what is the event when the condition will be triggered.

Please see a example below where I am running a dummy search to set my token. Then I am using the token in the actual search as search query filter. There are multiple possibilities and solutions.

  <search>
    <query>| makeresults
| eval log_level="INFO"
| table testData</query>
  <preview>
    <eval token="queryString">if(log_level=="INFO","INFO","ERROR")</eval>
  </preview>
  </search>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal sourcetype="splunkd" log_level="$queryString$"</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>          
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
        <option name="count">20</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">cell</option>
        <option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="totalsRow">false</option>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
