Hello,

I want to create my first alert based on elasticsearch query but it is not listed in "create alert" modal. I have following possibilities inside stack alerts subgroup:

 ![Zrzut ekranu 2021-09-21 o 12.10.52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/7/0772e507e49d0c180e000d6a9aa06ecd80c4fcb4.png)

What did I miss? I am looking for that option:

We are using platinum subscription.

Thanks!

Hi @gamblero welcome to the community.

Curious What version are.you running?

Elasticsearch query alert was introduced in 7.12 are you running an earlier version?
