Greetings! I am using ELK stack with APM for some time, but without alerting. And yesterday, I decided to add them. I have docker-compose installation at this time. I had tls between kibana and elastic enabled already. But after all configurations, I don't see any updates in log and new index don't created. I'm confused and I don't know what to do. What I am doing wrong?

Certificates was generated in other docker container using elasticsearch-certutil

> bin/elasticsearch-certutil cert --silent --pem --in config/certificates/instances.yml -out /certs/bundle.zip;

In docker container kibana started using this keys.

> /usr/share/kibana/bin/../node/bin/node /usr/share/kibana/bin/../src/cli --cpu.cgroup.path.override=/ --cpuacct.cgroup.path.override=/ --elasticsearch.hosts=[https://es:9200](https://es:9200) --elasticsearch.password=MYPASSWORDHERE --elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities=/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/certificates/ca/ca.crt --elasticsearch.username=elastic --server.name=kibana --xpack.encryptedSavedObjects.encryptionKey=KEYHERE --xpack.security.enabled=true --xpack.security.encryptionKey=KEYHERE

For example:  
Create alert from APM

 ![kibana_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/6/466c2a47810522b3aa16fa7c176a96e6a382c6fe.png)

Create conector:

Create alert:

After this I generated errors for this alert.  
I see active alert.

 ![Kibana_5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/d/2de5e3ded6a26bd62a2d6547ae5b1bc9ae3542b5.png)

But don't see in kibana logs message for this kind of alert and index "alert" don't created.  
Please HELP!
