I have elasticsearch, kibana and packetbeat running and I want to get alerts whenever there is abnormal activity with packetbeat information. How do I do it? My elasticsearch, kibana and packetbeat are running on-premesis.

Hey there Joel! 👋

So what exactly do you mean by `abnormal behavior` with regards to packetbeat information? Are you just looking for some sort of health-check rules, like if ingest stops or reaches a certain throughput?

If that's the case, you can use some of the [Stack Rules](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.7/rule-types.html) to achieve this:

Let me know if that's not the case and I'd be happy to guide you further 🙂
