Hi,
Looking at the guide for Alerts & Actions there is mention of suppressing alerts -
> **[Alerting and Actions | Kibana Guide \[7.12\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/alerting-getting-started.html#alerting-concepts-suppressing-duplicate-notifications)**
However i just cannot seem to find this option.
Also i am trying to find a better way to manage the detection alerts, on prem i use elastalert, i need to migrate fully to the cloud, with elastalert i have the suppress capability as described above and ability to make alerts that will hit for multiple detection types vs action for each detection.
Wondering if anyone has used actions and alerts for alerting on detections? I was looking at the elasticsearch query.
