The ilert Kibana Integration helps you to easily connect ilert with Kibana. |
Kibana is a powerful open-source analytics and visualization platform designed to work with Elasticsearch. It provides users with the tools to explore, visualize, and share insights into their data in real-time.

Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click Next.
-
Select an escalation policy by creating a new one or assigning an existing one.

Select your Alert grouping preference and click Continue setup. You may click Do not group alerts for now and change it later.

The next page shows additional settings, such as customer alert templates or notification priority. Click on Finish setup for now.

On the final page, an API key and/or webhook URL will be generated, which you will need later in this guide.

Will alerts in ilert be resolved automatically?
No, unfortunately, Kibana is not compatible with ilert's resolve event.
