Trigger alert on combined datasource?

Currently we have a customer who has the a requirement which I hope can be fulfilled from within LogicMonitor.

We have 3 single datasources which are completely independent of each other (CPU usage, memory distribution in the database and number of messages in a queue). I can collect these three datasources and put a threshold on, but the requirement is that only on a specific combination of these thresholds an alert needs to be triggerd.

Example: IF CPU > 80% and Memory usage in the database > 70% and a certain queue contains > 1000 messages then an alert needs to be triggerd. If one of the requirements is not met, there is no reason for an alert.

Thanks for any hint into the right direction.

    I'd love to see this too, it would be super useful. Unfortunately, all I can suggest at the moment (since they are separate datasources and not just separate datapoints) is to create a script datasource which combines all three metrics and lets you alert on that.
