Action and connector types
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. | |
Index data into Elasticsearch. | |
Send an event in PagerDuty. | |
Add a message to a Kibana log. | |
Push or update data to a new 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 connectors
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.
