I have configured metricbeat-Elasticsearch-kibana to monitor docker containers metric. and Elastalert to get email alert. I am getting CPU, memory, Network usage perfectly. and getting docker container status as field: "docker.container.status"= Up 5 min" need to get alert in Elastalert when container will get stopped or paused. It will be great if anyone can help me to write elastalert rule to get alert. ---

This forum is about software developed by Elastic. Elastalert is a third-party, so you might not get much help here. I suggest that you try another forum such as Stackoverflow. ---
