Hello,  
I want to see if its possible to recreate alerts visualizations in a custom dashboard.  
Currently the alerts are under their areas (like Observability, Security).  
I wanted to see if I can make a similar visualization in a dashboard. Perhaps to show a quick view of active alerts?

Any idea how I can accomplish this?  
Thanks,  
Erik

Hello Erik,

I think it's possible to create a custom dashboard to visualize your alerts in Elasticsearch.

You need to identify the index where your alerts are stored. Usually, alerts are stored in a system index, but the exact name can vary depending on your setup.  
You can create a new Index Pattern in Kibana that matches your alerts index.  
After creating the Index Pattern, you can go to the Dashboard section in Kibana and create a new dashboard and add various types of visualizations based on the fields in your alerts index.

Regards
