Hi,
We’re using Kibana/Elasticsearch to visualize different kind of logs in our
company. Now, we would need a feature that would allow us to send an
alert/notification (email or other) when a certain event/trigger is
captured.
I’d like to know if in Kibana/Elasticsearch backlog there is such a feature
planned? If so, when might we expect it available?
If not, could you please suggest any (open source) solution to satisfy our
need?
Thanks,
Natalia

Hi, not sure tbh
Kibana is a js interface so I don't think it makes sense to alert from it.
You could monitor the results stored in ES with nagios/zabbix/ your
monitoring of choice and parse the json result and alert based on that.
We've used logstash's statsd module to send data we are interested - we
have standard checks against a lot of statsd data points so this was a
simple way to integrate it all.

Hi,
There's no alerting in Kibana. Have a look at SPM
[http://sematext.com/spm/](http://sematext.com/spm/) - it has ES monitoring, threshold and heartbeat
alerting, anomaly detection, and a number of other features. Actually,
re-reading your email - you are looking to get notified when a certain
event is captured? By that do you mean having something like a "saved
query" that matches incoming logs?

#### Post date: [June 2, 2014, 6:00am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/alerts-from-kibana-es/17746/6 "2014-06-02T06:00:04Z")
Hi NF,
we did also set up alerting with our zabbix-monitoring-system.
What we use are simple Linux-Scripts using the command "curl" to search in
given elasticsearch-indices.
In the zabbix-system are build triggers that are runs the script on our
elasticsearch-server and interpret the output given from this scripts (e.g.
Number of events with ID 4625) and if this value is a specific value the
trigger alerts.
It´s simple to set up and maybe this is what you are looking for.
If you need any help, feel free to contact me

Aha. FWIW, such "saved queries" functionality is being added to Logsene
[http://sematext.com/logsene/](http://sematext.com/logsene/) as I type. Logsene is currently free if you
want to play around with it. No such thing in Kibana, but of course there
is Percolator.
