Hello, We are an Elastic Service Premium subscriber. I have two Deployments setup, for **non-prod** and **prod** workloads. Both clusters are using ES 7.9.3. I followed [this documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-enable-logging-and-monitoring.html) to setup a monitoring cluster with ES 7.11. The non-prod and prod Deployments are writing their logs to the monitoring cluster. Also the monitoring cluster is sending [its logs to itself so that daily indices are removed](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-enable-logging-and-monitoring.html#ec-logging-and-monitoring-retention) On the monitoring cluster's Kibana I can go to **Stack Monitoring** , and I see all three clusters, I can get into each one and see metrics like: - CPU % - JVM Heap, - Disk data among others Now, I want to setup some alarms on those three metrics, where the Action is sending a notification to Microsoft Teams. I went over [this documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/alerting-getting-started.html), which seems to be the be the "new-ish" way to setup alarms from Kibana instead of Elasticsearch's Watcher In Kibana I see some predefined alarms for the metrics I want when I go to **Stack Management/Alerts and Actions** : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/2/62a0e9614623602608ad980b927752d9c37ad9b1.png) But I can't (and shouldn't) change those. I tried to create my own alarms following [these instructions](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/defining-alerts.html) but I don't see the CPU Usage, Disk Usage, Memory JVM Usage metrics. Any guidance is much appreciated ---

It looks like you are a Cloud Platinum customer? If so you can also raise this question with our Support team - [https://support.elastic.co/](https://support.elastic.co/) ---

Ok I heard back from support. I wanted to update this for future generations. It is possible to add more actions to the default Stack Monitoring Alarms, I was just in the wrong UI. Here is the way to do it: - In Kibana go to **Stack Monitoring** - Click on the cluster you want to update - Click **Enter setup mode** in the top left corner - Click on any of the **[n] alerts** rectangles, drill down to the alert you care about, let's say **Resource Utilization/CPU Usage** - Click on **Edit alert** to change the alarm configuration, including adding an Action to post a Message to Microsoft Teams They mentioned in the next release 7.12 you will be able to update these alarms from the **Stack Management/Alerts and Actions** screen ---
