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.
Microsoft Teams	Send a message to a Microsoft Teams channel.
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.
