Short answer

Can I manage Kibana alerts using my AI?

Yes. You can find existing rules, create new ones, or change the status of current alerts through your chat interface. This gives you direct control over your monitoring setup using natural language.

Where every change lands.

Alert management outcomes

Your AI performs these specific actions in Kibana based on your requests.

ACTIVE

Rule status control

The AI can turn specific alerts on or off. You get immediate control over which monitors are currently running.

NEW

Rule creation

You can set up entirely new alerting logic. The AI handles the configuration details you provide in chat.

MODIFIED

Rule updates

Change the parameters of an existing alert. The AI updates the rule settings to match your new requirements.

MANUAL

Human review needed

Complex query logic or deep data analysis requires you to check the Kibana UI. The AI handles the rule management, but you own the underlying detection logic.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

The AI translates your chat commands into direct API calls to your Kibana instance.

  1. Locate rules

    The AI scans your Kibana environment to find the specific alert you want to change.

    find_rules

  2. Modify settings

    Once found, the AI adjusts the rule's configuration or updates its parameters.

    update_rule

  3. Toggle status

    You can instantly enable or disable an alert to stop or start monitoring.

    enable_ruledisable_rule

  4. Manage connectors

    The AI can set up the communication channels that deliver your alerts.
