I want to save this as an alert but I want the alert to trigger only when CurrErrors >1. How can I do this ? I have tried with where condition but I dont have the expected result

Got the issue. You're adding string text to CurrErrors making it a string and your where clause fails. Try adding this to your original search

...| where tonumber(replace(CurrErrors,"^(\d+)\s.+","\1"))>1

| where CurrErrors < "1"
I needed to enter this in the end of the search
I found the solution, thank you for the help that CurrErrors was a string. This helped me a lot

How about you add | where CurrErrors>1 in your search (at the end) itself and set the alert condition to where number of results is greater than 0?
