Create Alert when Alert volume is out of normal baseline

Is there a function within ServiceNow that can raise an alert or incident when alert volume is higher then a baseline?  We are looking to be notified when there is a large uptick in volume to take a closer to look to see if they are related.

Yes, you can write an alert management rule and check for the overall event count field for a certain number of events before creating an incident or any escalation/notification.

 

PS, make sure you use same message Key same.

I don't think this is what we are looking for.  We want to create an additional notification when alert numbers spike over a baseline.  Assume we normally see 10 to 15 alerts an hour but now we see 30.  This might be an indicator that we have a larger problem affecting multiple systems. 

Do you want to run this logic for specific types of alerts or for overall alert counts in your ServiceNow instance?

not any specific type.  more generic all up volume.  We can create a flow with a static threshold but I was hoping for something more dynamic generating a baseline and spikes.
