How do I configure an alert, for a specific Instance name? | Product Discussions

For the life of me I can't figure out to make the type of alert our org needs.I have a datasource named "Event Log Errors v3"This has a ton of different instances being generated and it's applied to any IsWindows() systems which we have over 10,000 of.I need to set an alarm, for a specific instance name. If that instance name is seen with a value over X over X, then I want an alarm triggered, on any system.I don't want to have to configure this a bazillion times (individual resource level), the alert should be uniform for all systems. I can't set an alarm on the DataSource itself, as there is one datapoint right now that uses ##WildValue##.COUNT as its Key, so setting a threshold there would set the same threshold for all the hundreds of instances being created by this DataSource and blow up our help desk.I can't set it at the Dynamic Group level right now because there I can pick the DataSource, but can't seem to specify a specific instance name from within the DataSource. It gives me the generic "count" entry.What am I missing here? Any suggestions? I chatted with support but end up with a slew of doc page links that send me down rabbit holes or confuse me even more. This should be pretty simple one would think...
