A user asked how to set up alerts for specific endpoints based on tags or other criteria. Another user suggested that it depends on the type of alert and explained that groups and tags are only present in certain indices. If the desired data is not in the correct index, filtering based on tags or groups may not be possible.

As a continuation of my earlier post, how can I set up alerts for a specific set of endpoints based on tags or some other criteria?
For example, I might want to get alerts when a service crashes on C-level devices, but not for non-C-level devices. That’s just one example. The broader question is how I can scope alerts to a defined group of endpoints instead of applying them across all.
Depends on the type of alert.
More specifically, CU4Desktops stores its data in indices. Alerts can only access 1 index.
Tags and groups are only present in some indices.
So if you want to filter data from _devices? You probably can filter on tag/group. If you want to filter data from a custom index or an index like netcfg_info you can’t because it doesn’t contain tag/group information.
