Hi,

I want to be able to detect unnormal spikes in the number of certain messages. for example, in the screenshot below the normal behavior is between 100-15,000 messages in 1 hour, so I used this query but I want to modify it so it will alert (message_indicator=1) if the total alert are around 20K. How can I do that? I used this:

-

AND !"with 0 errors")
AND !"errorMessage=null")
AND !"\"remoteGatewayStatus\":\"Error\"")
AND !"schedulingPaymentError=null")
AND !"\"error\": null,")
AND !"response: code = 200,"
|kv auto
|timeslice 1h
|count as message by _timeslice
|outlier message window=10,threshold=10,consecutive=2

  if by total, you mean within the timeslice, and you are only alerting based on the count, no longer using outlier's standard deviation approach, just replace the outlier line with
  
  | where _count > 20000

  and then your alert condition is if there are > 0 results.

  if you really mean total over the entire time range of query, rather than each timeslice within, drop the timeslice line and don't include by _timeslice in the count.

  p.s. the kv auto I don't think is doing anything in above so can drop that too.
