When I go to Kibana->Alerts and Actions I only see Alerts and Connectors and not Rules, I want to create a rule/generate alerts for anomaly detection(ML job) but I do not see Rules or anomaly detection alert, how do I enable this? thank you
If by "Rules" you mean "custom exceptions for Anomaly Detection Jobs", then:
Click on the gear icon next to an anomaly for the job in the ML UI:
...and you will see the popup:
...which opens the flyout:
Or if you prefer, you can set rules via the API
Is there a specific version of Elasticsearch I need? Both of these options I do no have, for example the second one when i click ... I dont see "Create alert rule" , only start data feed, clone job, edit job, delete job
The alerts for ML were revamped from using Watcher to using Kibana Rules/Alerts starting in v7.12 I believe. The above are screenshots from v7.15
