This is not always possible, and depends on the condition, you have set. In 
your 
example, this would be easy, but there are possible condition, where it's not:

Assume a condition which triggers, when the number of flows is 10% more than 
the 
hourly average. There are not specific flows causing the alert.
Anyway I put it on the todo list to see, what's further possible.
