Hi,

I am a newbie in elastic. I have a usecase wherein I need to execute some command on the remote machine.  
Further I also need to send the results to elasticsearch for further monitoring.  
Is there any option to execute remote commands?

Setup details:  
Xpack : trial version  
OS: Centos 7  
Elastic Version : 6.5.4

Thanks,  
Vrushali S.

You can call an API via Alerting, but there's nothing else you can do.
