@gcusello  The search of the panel has values parsed from the other panels in the dashbaord.

Anyway, the only solution is the one I described:

you have to create one single search and save it as an alert, it isn't possible to create an alert taking parameters from other panels or inputs.

I could add that the concept of alert is to have a rule that automatically checks the conditions and triggers without human intervenes.

You could also add the sendmail command to a panel, but in this way, the mail is sent every time you open the dashboard and I don't think that's acceptable.

Hi @prettysunshinez,

you have only to take the search in the panel and run it in the Search dashboard, then you have to save it as an Alert, adding the other informations: trigger condition (count=0), scheduling, time frame, etc...).

Ciao.
