How to configure alerts in Kibana?

To configure alerts in Kibana, you first need to set up a watcher. Watchers in Kibana monitor the data in Elasticsearch and trigger actions based on specified conditions. To create a watcher, you can go to the Watcher tab in Kibana and click on the "Create a new watch" button. Next, you need to define the conditions for your alert. This can include searching for specific patterns or values within your data. Once you have defined the conditions, you can configure the actions to be taken when the conditions are met. This could be sending an email, logging to Elasticsearch, or executing a webhook. Finally, you can set a schedule for the watcher to run periodically and save your configuration. This way, Kibana will continuously monitor your data and notify you when the specified conditions are met.
