Hi Kanmani,  
Looking at the configuration above I believe you're not in fact using Elastic's Alerting framework, but rather Amazon's OpenSearch.

This is not the Elastic distribution of Kibana, but rather an Amazon specific product ([see the differences here](https://www.elastic.co/aws-elasticsearch-service)). We, unfortunately, cannot offer support for Amazon's distribution (sadly I'm not familiar enough with their product to do so), so you may have better luck asking in their forums.

It's also worth noting that we do have an alerting feature as part of our distribution as well, which we are happy to offer support for: [https://www.elastic.co/what-is/kibana-alerting](https://www.elastic.co/what-is/kibana-alerting)

OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance.
