Hello World! Via `Kibana` -\> `Management` -\> `Alerts and Insights` -\> `Rules and Connectors` - all of my rules status is always _Pending_. per [Get Alerting framework health API | Kibana Guide [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.17/get-alerting-framework-health-api.html#get-alerting-framework-health-api-example) > GET /api/alerting/\_health yet when I run it via `Dev Tools`, I get following: ```auto #! [types removal] Specifying types in document get requests is deprecated, use the /{index}/_doc/{id} endpoint instead. { "error" : { "root_cause" : [ { "type" : "index_not_found_exception", "reason" : "no such index [api]", "resource.type" : "index_expression", "resource.id" : "api", "index_uuid" : "_na_", "index" : "api" } ], "type" : "index_not_found_exception", "reason" : "no such index [api]", "resource.type" : "index_expression", "resource.id" : "api", "index_uuid" : "_na_", "index" : "api" }, "status" : 404 } ``` Please advise. ---

Dev tools only speaks to Elasticsearch, not Kibana. You will need to use something like Postman or curl to talk to Kibana. ---

From [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/create-and-manage-rules.html#_rule_status): ### [Rule status](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/edit/8.3/docs/user/alerting/create-and-manage-rules.asciidoc) A rule can have one of the following statuses: `active` The conditions for the rule have been met, and the associated actions should be invoked. `ok` The conditions for the rule have not been met, and the associated actions are not invoked. `error` An error was encountered by the rule. `pending` The rule has not yet run. The rule was either just created, or enabled after being disabled. `unknown` A problem occurred when calculating the status. Most likely, something went wrong with the alerting code. ---

yes, alerts were created within the default space. I'm running multiple Kibana instances, and noticed that if I delete all rules and re-create them in one of Kibana, the other Kibana isn't able to display monitoring at all and instead showing me these: ![Screen Shot 2022-08-19 at 12.22.35 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/9/c9b92ef2f22b6a3bd4e9cbba873acf067d424017.png) while if there aren't any rules, monitoring app is working fine (by displaying me stats from cluster: elasticsearch, kibana and logstash) ---
