I need to remove elastalert information from /var/log/messages, and I'm having trouble creating a log file for elastalert. the default configuration in config.yaml doesn't work and i'm not getting it through the /etc/rsyslog.conf rules either any suggestion? ---

Hi @Sansao, welcome to the Elastic Community! [Elastialert](https://github.com/Yelp/elastalert) is developed by Yelp, not Elastic. You might have more luck asking in the project's support forums. It might be interesting for you to know that Elastic offers [an alerting solution](https://www.elastic.co/what-is/elasticsearch-alerting) that might cover your use case. Regards, Alejandro ---
