I am trying to create alert to monitor server for specific process but it is showing a message "This alert will apply to approximately 24 monitors".  
I want to create server specific alert for each process. How can I do? Please let me know.

I assume you mean "specific monitor" rather than "specific process". You'll want the query to match exactly one "monitor.id" value, rather than search by hostname.

Thanks @Andrew_Cholakian1 your response proved to be very helpful for me. I checked this with **monitor.id** for monitoring 2 specific monitor using **or** in between and it is showing the correct message.
