How to use SAM component values in alerts

Is there a way to use component values of SAM monitors in alert triggers?

Due to firewall issues I have to use powershell as a SAM component to generate URL response times. I can't find a way in the alert GUI to create a trigger for say Response_Time > 500ms.

I know I can probably use SWQL to achieve it, but I'd prefer a gui based approach if possible.

Thanks Christopher. I was just about to implement that but decided to have another root around the Trigger GUI Turns out it is possible in the way I was looking for, I just hadn't spotted it.

For the scope of the alert I set Node.Node Name = the uri & Component.Statistic Data Label (Multiple Statistic Data) = Response_Time

I then set the actual trigger conditions to Component.Statistic Data Label (Multiple Statistic Data) > 500

Tested it and it's working perfectly.

@BaldFeegle, for that output pairing in the component settings you could change the threshold for the response time statistic to change the status when the response time goes above a certain value, then you could write an alert based on that status change.
