we have to setup an alert for all the windows event logs which are under the "error" types. I was able to create the dashboard for the windows event logs which eventually shows me the count of the event logs which has "error" messages but I would like to get alerted as well for that count.

Hi @allaboutopensource and welcome to the community!

This can be achieved by using alerts with "Elasticsearch query" type for example:

> **[Alerting | Kibana Guide \[8.7\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/alerting-getting-started.html)**
>
> Kibana provides you with several options to share \*Discover\* saved searches, dashboards, \*Visualize Library\* visualizations, and \*Canvas\* workpads with others, or on a website.
