Creating alert using API heartbeat endpoint

Hi I have a few API heartbeat endpoint to check the API service is running fine.

Is it possible to create alerts on these heartbeat?

Hi @eddieyee ,
In theory, this should be possible, but it depends on a variety of things, so we'd likely need more information to say for sure.

Does each heartbeat correlate to a document?
Are you trying to detect something in this document, or are you trying to detect the absence of a document?
Can you fashion an ES query that would detect the condition you're looking for? Or are you unsure about how to achieve that?

Hi @gmmorris, thanks for looking into this.

It is possible to create alert off this web API heartbeat endpoint directly without any document?

No, it's not as Heartbeat doesn't have an API.
