Hello Gustavo!

I believe you've run into the issue reported here: [index threshold rule does not work as expected with a threshold below a value · Issue #103922 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/103922)

We've fixed this in the master branch with this PR: [[Alerting] Allow rule to execute if the value is 0 and that mets the condition by chrisronline · Pull Request #10](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/105626)

According to the labels in the PR, this fix will be available in Kibana 7.14.1 and 7.15.0, when released.
