The Alert would not know what the value should be as it isn't statically established.
For Instance
There would be 2 hosts forwarding data (the local host and another host). I want to receive an alert when a new host is added (e.g. dc = 3)
OR, more importantly, when one stops forwarding (e.g. dc=1).
When the search runs every hour if it's been changed the trigger should activate.
Any help or insight on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
