Hi  
I am new to elasticsearch. I'd like to know if there is any way that can automatically detect index health status and notify me if there is any error occurs?

Thanks

The Alerting module can do it - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/xpack-alerting.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/xpack-alerting.html)
