ElastAlert Integration Guide
ElastAlert is a simple framework for alerting on anomalies, spikes, or other patterns of interest from data in Elasticsearch. ElastAlert works with all versions of Elasticsearch.
What can Zenduty do for Elastalert users?
With Elastalert's Integration, Zenduty sends new Elastalert alerts to the right team and notifies them based on on-call schedules via email, text messages(SMS), phone calls(Voice), Slack, Microsoft Teams and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed. Zenduty provides your NOC, SRE and application engineers with detailed context around the Elastalert alert along with playbooks and a complete incident command framework to triage, remediate and resolve incidents with speed.
Whenever Elastalert triggers an alert based on a predefined condition, Zenduty will create an incident. When that condition goes back to normal levels, Zenduty will auto-resolve the incident.
You can also use Alert Rules to custom route specific Elastalert alerts to specific users, teams or escalation policies, write suppression rules, auto add notes, responders and incident tasks.
