Since we already have filebeat, metricbeat and heartbeat configured and running.

I wonder if people have successfully implemented the ELK stack for actual monitoring with alerting/notifications instead of using traditional software as

- Nagios
- Icinga
- Zabbix

Especially since ElasticSearch now has had watchers and alerting for a while.
