Topic : How to set Watcher to support 2 condition on 1 day??
Time 00.00 - 06.00 check-in Condition 1
```
"condition": {
"compare": {
"ctx.payload.hits.total": {
"gte": 10
}
}
```
Time 06.01-23.59 Check-in Condition 2
```
"condition": {
"compare": {
"ctx.payload.hits.total": {
"gte": 50
}
}
```
Watcher can be support in case or not ?
or anyone can share the knowledge of how to set in this case.

Hi, two solutions come to my mind:
- Create 2 independent watcher alerts with the desired scheduling and condition for each one. More verbose but simpler to maintain.
- Use only one alert with a [script condition](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/condition-script.html) instead of a simple compare. That enables you to:
As you imagine, the latest one won't be beautiful at all...

Hey,
in addition you can have conditions on a per action base. So you could trigger action1 (i.e. send a slack message) for your first condition and action2 (i.e. send an email) with the second condition.
Would that help your use-case?

Hi Sinscale
thank you for update
I mean check up same error code.
when payload.hits.total greater than 10 @time 00.00 - 06.00 and payload.hits.total greater than 50 @time 06.01 - 23.59
same error code check but different time of the day

using a script based condition you can execute all the logic you want within a condition and also take the current time into account by utilizing `ctx.trigger.triggered_time`
