Adding conditions to actions
editAdding conditions to actions
editWhen a watch is triggered, its condition determines whether or not to execute the
watch actions. Within each action, you can also add a condition per action. These
additional conditions enable a single alert to execute different actions depending
on a their respective conditions. The following watch would always send an email, when
hits are found from the input search, but only trigger the notify_pager action when
there are more than 5 hits in the search result.
