Kibana Alerting

[Reeker (Metodi)]

Hello Team,

I am trying to get the Alerting to work in Kibana but i think i am missing something.

I would like to set a log alerting for specific strings from the logs.

Would that be possible?

Also is Alerting and Actions available in the free version of ELK?

Hi @Reeker,

Thank you for reaching out. The ability to alert based on string matching will be added very soon within the Logs solution and soon after that as a generic search alert option for any index. The initial 7.7 Beta release offers a generic threshold alert which works with numerical values and an array of solution-specific alert types tailored to Elastic Security and Elastic Observability and we will be extending the capabilities fast with each subsequent release. Creating and managing your alerts in the Elastic Stack is free (Basic tier). This includes alert lifecycle management and multi-tenancy with Kibana Spaces. We are also offering out-of-the-gate integrations with PagerDuty, Slack, email and webhooks. Channeling your alerts to those external integrations is on the Gold tier and this collection will expand as well.
