Conditionsedit
You can specify the following thresholds for your alert.
Status check |
Receive alerts when a monitor goes down a specified number of times within a time range (seconds, minutes, hours, or days). |
Availability |
Receive alerts when a monitor goes below a specified availability threshold within a time range (days, weeks, months, or years). |
Let’s create an alert for any monitor that shows Down more than three times in 10 minutes.
We’ll choose to only be notified every 30 minutes so that we’re not flooded with alert notifications.
This alert covers all the monitors you have running. You can use a query to specify specific monitors, and you can also have different conditions for each one.
The final step when creating an alert is to select one or more actions to take when the alert is triggered.
Action typesedit
You can extend your alerts by connecting them to actions that use the following supported built-in integrations. Actions are Kibana services or integrations with third-party systems that run as background tasks on the Kibana server when alert conditions are met.
You can configure action types on the Settings page.
Action variablesedit
To customize the notification message, select from a list of variables you would like to include.
