Creating threshold alerts in Elasticsearch has been simplified, catering to requests for a user-friendly interface at the Elastic{ON} '17 conference. Although designing a universal alert UI is challenging due to the varied nature of alerts, the focus was placed on developing a straightforward UI for threshold alerts, the most requested type. This feature requires Elasticsearch and Kibana version 6.0.0-beta 2 or higher, with X-Pack installed, and involves using Metricbeat to gather system data for alert creation. Users can configure alerts in Kibana's Watcher, specifying conditions like CPU usage exceeding 50% in the last five minutes, and set actions such as sending an email notification. Future plans include integrating Kibana's saved searches as inputs for alerts and expanding UI options for different alert scenarios. Feedback from users is encouraged through the Pioneer Program to enhance software development.
