Please read carefully the [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part. It is not polite to bump your thread after just 9 hours like you did.

Furthermore, Elastalert is a third-party plugin so you will likely get more useful support from a more Elastalert-focussed forum. The recommended way to do alerting with Elasticsearch is with [Watcher](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/watcher-ui.html).
