Thank you for contacting us, @Manoilayans. You can set up an alert to receive email notifications in Kibana when a new user is created. Start by selecting the Elasticsearch index that logs new user creation events. Then, make a query that identifies these events using fields such as created_at or a new_user flag. You can schedule this alert according to your preferences.

Here are some resources that may be helpful:

To get this working you will have to enable the audit events for kibana/elasticsearch.

You can then follow the steps from @jessgarson to create your alert.

Pls let me know how to enable the Audit events.. is it Kibana level yml or Elasticsearch yml changes and which property to apply ?

You would need to enable audit events and then ingest the audit logs to be able to create those alerts, but to enable audit events you need a paid license, platinum or enterprise.

Do you have a paid license? If you are on the basic free license you cannot enable audit.

Thanks for your follow up, @Manoilayans. By index, I was referring to the audit log.

I think our documention could be helpful here:
