Enable more than one IF in the same Alert

[isadora-martini]

Problem Statement

Currently we can set 1 IF with some conditions in it
But actually, we would like to configure 2 IFs. Basically what we need is:

• If all these filters match (then inside this one we have about 3 conditions)
• If any of the filters match (then inside this one we are going to have several possibilities of values that we need for one of the tags which is the export name)

We have 2 teams today that take care of some exports of our platform, we need a filter that matches all conditions of the first IF, and then for the second we are going to filter the specific reports for each team, so one of the tags need to match one of the values (second IF)

@isadora-martini - So, if I'm understanding you correctly, what you're looking for is something like this?

if (animal = dog and fur = brown and breed in [catahoula, pit bull, chow]) => send alert

(The first two conditions must apply, and then there are choices for how the final condition could apply, but at least one of those choices must be true.)

If so, you're correct that this isn't something you can do within our current system. I'll bring this up with our PMs, but in the meantime, as a workaround, you could conditionally add another tag to the event, marking it as one which should trigger your rule. (It's certainly not as nice a solution as having greater flexibility when creating alert rules, for any number of reasons, but it should work.)

Yes, that is exactly what is necessary :)
