Hello,

I am using AWS elastic search 6.8 and wanted to using alerting in kibana.  
I want to generate alerts based on a pattern match "Cannot allocate memory".

Aws uses their own alerting system so you may not get an answer for that here sorry. You may need to ask on their forums.

Otherwise, consider using [https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/service](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/service), it has Alerting built in, and we can definitely help there.
