Id recommend creating an alert when the process count is less then 3 during a 60 min period. I hope this is what you are looking for or close to it. </P><P><IMG src="https://community.dynatrace.com/legacyfs/online/27791-1609450256846.png" /></P> Thu, 31 Dec 2020 21:31:18 GMT ChadTurner 2020-12-31T21:31:18Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Log-Analytics/Python-cronjob-monitoring-alerting-if-cronjob-does-not-start/m-p/120044#M840 <P>Hello!</P><P>A customer is looking to be alerted if a Python cronjob does not kickoff as expected. We looked into setting up a custom log event, but the cronjob would kickoff only 3 times per hour so the "/ minute" time unit does not help us. We'd like it to say: Generate Log Error Problem if number of 'cronjob kickoff' occurrences is less than 3 / hour. </P><P>Has anyone come across a workaround, or can think of a different/better way to achieve this?</P><P>Thank you!</P> Fri, 18 Dec 2020 00:26:17 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Log-Analytics/Python-cronjob-monitoring-alerting-if-cronjob-does-not-start/m-p/120044#M840 pablo_garcia 2020-12-18T00:26:17Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Log-Analytics/Python-cronjob-monitoring-alerting-if-cronjob-does-not-start/m-p/120045#M841 <P>You mentioned Custom Log, did you also look into the Custom Event for alerting?
