Hey,  
I'm using Kibana 7.9.1 and recently I've started to explore Monitoring and Alerting, I have few questions:  
I have a monitor with an active trigger, the alert has been triggered for some reason only once.  
Besides, I'm not sure where can I find the log or reason that made the trigger, I only see the trigger with no details(For example, I don't see the IP that made the trigger).

Another issue, when I'm creating a monitor using "Define using extraction query" I can only use the `ctx.results[0].hits.total.value > 0` I don't know how to do the same but with buckets values.

Thank you 🙂

You'll want to go into the Management page for Alerts and look for the alert definition: [Alert details | Kibana Guide [7.9] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.9/alert-details.html) for the "instances" of the alert.

You'll want to use Dev Tools to work out a query that has some bucket aggregations, so that the search result contains bucket values. See [Bucket aggregations | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket.html)

Hope this helps! If not, please feel free to add more details to the questions.
