Action and connector typesedit
Actions are Kibana services or integrations with third-party systems that run as background tasks on the Kibana server when alert conditions are met. Kibana provides the following types of actions:
Send email from your server. |
|
Create an incident in IBM Resilient. |
|
Index data into Elasticsearch. |
|
Create an incident in Jira. |
|
Send an event in PagerDuty. |
|
Add a message to a Kibana log. |
|
Create an incident in ServiceNow. |
|
Send a message to a Slack channel or user. |
|
Send a request to a web service. |
Some action types are paid commercial features, while others are free. For a comparison of the Elastic subscription levels, see the subscription page.
Preconfigured actions and connectorsedit
For out-of-the-box and standardized connectors, you can preconfigure the connector before Kibana starts.
If you preconfigure a connector, you can also preconfigure its action type.
