Alerting

Customized triggers that spring automated workflows into action

Applications not responding. CPU and RAM utilization jumping. Signs of attack. See these warnings as they happen — not as part of the post-mortem.

Create alerts in-app with context

Often the idea to create an alert occurs when you're working with relevant data. Create alerts in the moment with a rich flyout menu — no matter if you’re fully immersed in the APM, Metrics, Uptime, or Security application.

Get notified, your way

Extend your alerts by connecting them to actions that use built-in integrations for email, webhooks, IBM Resilient, Jira, Microsoft Team, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, and Slack. Alerting inside the Elastic Stack also supports a powerful webhook output letting you tie into additional third-party systems that matter to your organization.

Include relevant information in your alerts with easy to configure templates that give context and details for taking action.

Control access to alerts with flexible permissions

Kibana’s simple, yet powerful security interface gives you the power to use role-based-access-control (RBAC) to decide who can both view and create alerts. What's more, you can even separately govern who has the ability to connect those alerts to third-party actions.

Learn from your elasticsearch alert history

A complete history of all alert executions is indexed into elasticsearch for easy tracking and visualization in Kibana. Are my alerts executing? How often are my conditions being met? What actions were taken?
