It sounds like what you’re looking for is [Watcher](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/watcher-ui.html). This way you can set a condition which triggers an alert.

This is included with x-pack. If you don’t have x-pack I expect you’d have to create a custom solution using a Python script scheduled in a crontab which periodically checks for the value using the elasticsearch API.

ok so it email will trigger at every condition ? for example if i have 5 records and amount limit is change at every record for example  
A= 10 if amount = 10 email will trigger  
B=20 if amount = 20 email will trigger  
C=30 same as the above case  
D= 40 same as the above case  
E=50 same as the above case  
what i mean to say if amount is consumed email will trigger if not consumed email will not trigger,  
and watcher is free of cost ?

Yes you could set up different alerts and different emails for each threshold level if you like.

The alerting/watcher feature is part of x-pack so no, not free of cost. X-pack is included with Elastic Cloud deployments but if you’re self-hosting it would require a license.
