I already can make alerts from APM data, but would also need to make some alarms from my own logs (the ones from Kibana, in the Analytics -\> Discover window) too. Is it possible?

Thank you

There are other types of rules you can create, listed here: [Rule types | Kibana Guide [8.3] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/rule-types.html)

I'm guessing the following might be appropriate for your use case:

- Elasticsearch Query
- Index Threshold
- Logs Threshold

You can create these from the Stack Management / Rules and Connectors page.

Starting in 8.3, you can create an Elasticsearch Query rule directly from Discover: [Discover | Kibana Guide [8.3] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/discover.html#alert-from-Discover)
