Hi,

We are using ELK setup on Kubernetes with a basic license version (8.5.3 - ECK TEMPLATE INSTALLATION), our requirement is to send email alerts based on some logs from the index (eg. if number of test environments are less than expected).

I understand with the subscription setup there is a possibility to send email alert.

So, we would like to know if there is any feature available for basic one to use email alert If not email, is it possible to display the alert message in dashboard itself.

For the Basic license, the only connectors available are server log and index. So, you may be able to use the index connector. That connector will write documents to an arbitrary index. You could then display that data in a Dashboard, in Discover, etc.
