Looking for Alert rule dataview and index

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Using the API we can get the index of the alert that it is being used

curl
--request GET 'https://localhost:5601/api/alerting/rules/_find' \

If I want to use a query which default dataview or default index for all alert rule should i be looking at?

I was trying to find from the official Elasticsearch documentation for Elastic Stack Monitoring Integration but to no avail.

We are reindexing our index. So we are not sure if that will impact any of our alerts.

Kindly advice

Hello @Whoami1980

I am not sure what is the exact query. The below index i see has information about alert status for all spaces :

.kibana_alerting_cases_*

Hello @Whoami1980

You need to create a dataview with the index pattern if you want to use a dataview.

Thanks!!

Maybe i have not been clear. the reason we are using the query is because

we want to query what dataview or default index is currently configured for all our alert rule

hope that clarifies

You should use the API to get this information.

The rules will be saved internally in Kibana as saved objects, it is no something that you can simple make a query to an index, there is no documentation on how and where they are stored as it is expected that the detection rules API to be used in this case.

If you want you can query the .internal.alerts-security* indices, this is where the alerts that triggered will be stored, you have some information about the rules that triggered the alert.

I tried to run the API get for alerts in devtools but to no avail

GET /api/alerting/_health
{
  "error": "no handler found for uri [/api/alerting/_health?pretty=true] and method [GET]"
}

GET /alerting/_health
{
  "error": "Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/alerting/_health?pretty=true] and method [GET], allowed: [POST]",
  "status": 405
}

This is a Kibana API, if you run in Dev Tools you need to use GET kbn:/api/endpoint
