Hi,

do you know if is it possible, working on Kibana's Advanced Settings (or otherwise), to consider in the Alerts (Observability) section also alerts that trigger from custom indexes, in order to have a single dashboard for viewing active / triggered alerts?

Best regards,  
Federica Forti

Can you explain this in more detail? All the alerts (including the ones from observability) are done via the Alerting app (from Alerts & Rules) and they all are in the same index. You can make a dashboard that shows them all by looking at that index.

CIao  
we would have all alertsinside one dashboard to consolidate the screen that L1 need to observe for supporting the monitoring.

At the moment  
in the 8.5 we have noticed that the "anomaly detection" alert type was removed from observability alerting.
