Hi,  
I'm looking for a procedure to set up alert in Kibana for a specific error message in the indices.

Hi Aneesh,

There is a concept of Watcher's which you can try it out.

It definitely suits your required.

Check the below doc for reference.

Hi @aneeshks1982,

You can take a look at the log threshold rule:
