How can I create alerts when no data is there on an index/index pattern ?  
The Kibana version which I am using is 7.12.1 and having Platinum License.

Hi @ansarpalakottal ,

Have you tried to create an alert with [Index Threshold rule](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/alert-type-index-threshold.html) and comparing `count` value to `0`?

Best,  
Oleg
