Hi people, I have an ELK 7.9.0 / Debian 10 cluster running OK.
I wanna test Elastalert plugin in order to set alert rules and get feedback by email.
Is it possible to put to work Elastalert for this ELK 7.9.0 version? Because I used the elastalert Debian stable package but I had some error and it doesn't work.
If there is another open source alerting plugin, please let me know.
Regards!!!

Hi there! We can't really help with third-party plug-ins on this forum, but I'd recommend looking at Kibana [Alerts & Actions](https://www.elastic.co/what-is/kibana-alerting) or of course the well battle-tested [Elastic Watcher](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-watcher.html).
