i have ingested python logs in Elasticsearch. Sample of my logs given below ```auto [2021-10-01 23:54:39,752] [INFO] [run][MainThread] [xxxxxxxxx] [function_name:line no] : updating user request mapping for the request xxxxxxx [2021-10-01 23:54:50,021] [ERROR] [run][request_thread] [xxxxxxxxx] [function_name:line no] : Exception occurred. stacktrace... ...... ``` When my logs contain log level == ERROR i want to send a mail to the pdl with the error adn stacktrace. ---

Hi @Chandrakant_Naik, This sounds like a great use case for the logs threshold rule: [Create a logs threshold rule | Observability Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/master/logs-threshold-alert.html). You can create this rule and then attach an email action to the rule in order to be notified. Thanks, ---

Well you will either need to enable Security/ TLS to use alerts or perhaps a very small Elastic Cloud instance. Alerting feature requires Security / TLS to be setup up. [https://cloud.elasti.co](https://cloud.elasti.co) I wrote a step-by-step How To to secure a single Elasticsearch / Kibana on a single host, it should take you about 15 minutes See [Here](https://github.com/bvader/howtos/blob/master/basic-security-elasticsearch/README.md) ---

Without using the cloud instance, how do i enable Security/TLS in my localhost.. is there any write up on that. Under config folder i have the .p12 file and have enabled following configurations in Elasticsearch.yml file ```auto discovery.type: single-node # Enable security xpack.security.enabled: true # Enable auditing if you want, uncomment # xpack.security.audit.enabled: true # SSL Settings xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.path: elastic-stack-ca.p12 xpack.security.http.ssl.truststore.path: elastic-stack-ca.p12 xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: elastic-stack-ca.p12 xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: elastic-stack-ca.p12 ``` Post all this, i restarted Elasticsearch it just got stuck and it gives me following mesage - `recieved plaintext http traffic on an https channel` ---
