Hi  
We have configured Kibana to ingest our application log files  
Now we want an Alert from Kibana if it sees 2 log file signals (within a reasonable time of each other)

Can someone please point me at an example of how to configure this  
Thanks

Hi, you can go into **Stack Management \> Alerts and Insights \> Rules** to create a rule that declares the conditions which should trigger an alert. There is a type of rule called **Log threshold** that might fit your use case.

In the rule declaration, you can also select how you want to be alerted.
