Hi, I'm taking the Kibana training courses and have a quick question. Is it possible to set an email alert on Kibana? If it's doable, how can I set up?  
(There are training sessions on Machine learning in Elastic Stack and Anomaly Explorer but I don't see any email alert function.)  
For example, while the transaction amount exceed 1k, then it will send a notification/alert to my email.

Thanks

Yes, its possible to set up alerts in Kibana. Alerting allows you to define **rules** to detect complex conditions within different Kibana apps and trigger actions when those conditions are met. Kibana provides two types of alerts:

- Stack alerts, which are built into Kibana
- Domain-specific alerts, which are registered by Kibana apps.

Here, you can follow this link for more detailed explanation: [Alerting | Kibana Guide [7.x] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.x/alerting-getting-started.html)  
please let us know how we can help further.

Thanks
