In Splunk, what does the 'Schedule' setting for a scheduled alert define?

The actions to take when triggered

The expiration time of the alert

A Splunk admin needs to create an alert that monitors for a specific error pattern in logs. The alert should trigger only when the error occurs more than 5 times in 10 minutes, and it should send an email to the on-call team. The admin wants to reuse an existing saved search that already filters for the error pattern. What is the most efficient way to create this alert?

Create a new alert from the saved search, set the trigger condition to 'number of results is greater than 5', and add an email action

Create an alert from the saved search, set the trigger condition to 'number of results is greater than 5', and add a webhook action instead of email

Create a new search from scratch, set the trigger condition to 'number of results is greater than 5', and add an email action

Modify the saved search to include the threshold condition and then create an alert that triggers on any result

In Splunk, what is an alert?

A type of lookup that enriches events with external data

A report that is emailed to a list of recipients on a regular basis

A dashboard panel that displays the results of a search in real time

A saved search that runs on a schedule and can trigger actions based on its results
