Action and connector types

edit

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:

Email

Send email from your server.

IBM Resilient

Create an incident in IBM Resilient.

Index

Index data into Elasticsearch.

Jira

Create an incident in Jira.

PagerDuty

Send an event in PagerDuty.

ServerLog

Add a message to a Kibana log.

ServiceNow

Create an incident in ServiceNow.

Slack

Send a message to a Slack channel or user.

Webhook

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 connectors

edit

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.
