Linux File Count Alerting

I have a Linux server running Red Hat. I have a monitoring template that will tell me how many files are currently in a specific folder. I'm trying to get an alert working to where if there are more than 1 file in that folder it sends an alert. The alert part is not working. This is how I have the alert configured.

This is the File Monitor Template Configuration (currently working):

Any assistance on why the alert is not working would be greatly appreciated.

So on your screenshot, the current count is 2 and the component is showing as up and in your alert, if you have it set to critical but I don't see that you put in a threshold value for critical.

Good catch, thank you, I didn't realize. I went ahead and made the change. Hopefully that was it.
