Hey guys, I was wondering if it's possible to run a watcher alert based on conditions where tags are used. For example, I would like to alert by slack when: - count of tags "root\_log\_error" OR "sys\_mon\_error" greater than 5 over the last 15 min; I don't think I can do this with the simple watcher. Maybe with the Advanced Watcher? Thanks!! Any help is appreciated!! ---

It is not possible with the simple watcher since there is not way to include a filter in the watch. You should be able to do this with the advanced watcher since you can set `input.search.request.body` and specify the query there ---
