Can I set a alert for a SW event... possible?

Question

I have several alert actions that send a json text to a url. We use this to send alert information for automatic ticket creation. I was trying to see if I can get an alert off of the event log when this action fails. I have had thoughts about setting up an http alert for when the url itself but I need to work with a 3rd party... which I would like to avoid. Thanks.

Hi, For this you will need to use the Custom SQL or Custom SWQL option in the Trigger I want to alert on drop down. Then create a query that references the Orion.Events (SWQL) entity with the necessary sub query to capture the scenario you are looking for. The Custom SWQL/SQL structure means that you have a starting object, which may likely be Nodes, but whatever is appropriate for your conidtion.
