I have defined the rules under the rules folder but my rules were not triggering email alerts even the matching expression is found on the logs.

I am running the elastalert on the Linux OS and our elasticsearch version is 7.8.0

Please assist us to troubleshoot the elastalert.

Welcome to our community! 😃

You will need to ask the elastalert devs on this sorry, we don't provide support for this here as it's not our product.
