Hi all, I need help on how to setup simple/basic alerting in Elastic v7.10 similar to Sentinl available in older versions. Since I'm currently using Elastic v7.10 open source free/basic version so I need to setup alerting with data from different indexes if possible within this basic version itself. ---

Hi @krishray09 ! [Alerting and Actions | Kibana Guide [7.10] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/alerting-getting-started.html) has the info for kibana alerting on 7.10 It's part of x-pack so you'll need a free basic license to use it. ---

It is [explained](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/alerting-getting-started.html#alerting-setup-prerequisites) in the link above, please check the documentation. You need to be using the `basic` license, the alert features doesn't work if you are using the open source distribution. Also, the only actions available with the basic license is to log a line in the Kibana Server log or write the alert into an Index. ---
