Hi! I have a lot of detections on my watchers. Is it possible to have the alert generated by watchers in the Detection section of Elastic Security SIEM? ---

Depending on the actions configured in your watchers; If you have a action which ingest data into your elastic cluster you can add the `event.kind: alert` to the document to have it show up as external alert. You can then use a single query detection to have them all show up as signals in the detections tab. ```auto rule name override = message query = event.kind:alert ``` _pseudo code ofcourse_ This is by far the most reliable method I have discovered. ---
