Dear all =)
When I read the summary for [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/88528](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/88528) it says
> New stack alert for executing ES DSL (query only, no aggregation support) and evaluating the number of matches against a threshold condition.
But when reading
- [Alerting | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/alerting-getting-started.html)
- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/defining-alerts.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/defining-alerts.html)
I don't see any mention of how to make an alert using DSL query is done. Did that not make it into 7.12, or am I missing something?
Hugs,
Sandra =)

Hi @Sandra_Schlichting ,
The Elasticsearch query alert is definitely part of 7.12. You can find the documentation for it under "Alerting and Actions" -\> "Alerts" -\> "Elasticsearch query" ([Elasticsearch query | Kibana Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/alert-type-es-query.html)).
Hope this helps 🙂
Mike

Dear Mike
It very much did. Thanks =)
Do you know if they are supported in the REST API, so I can automate creating and deleting them?

Absolutely, you can use the [Create alert API | Kibana Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/alerts-api-create.html) to do so 🙂
Feel free to observe the request sent by the browser to see how the properties map and you can automate by using our official API.
