Availability

  • Generally available

    This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage.

Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments.

This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

AutoOps events are triggered when specific conditions are met and are closed when those conditions are no longer satisfied. An event can be triggered by multiple conditions, and each event comes with a default setting that can be adjusted differently for each connected deployment.

Note

Only Organization owners can configure these settings.

To view an event's settings, select an event on the Deployment or Cluster page and choose Settings from its actions menu. Not all events have customizable settings.

Depending on the event, settings can include:

  • Event trigger threshold: A list of parameters explicitly set for an event. Default settings can be adjusted to meet operational and business needs. You can apply different settings to some or all deployments.
  • Data roles (tiers) to exclude from indication: Add a threshold based on the type of data tier.
  • Index filter patterns to ignore: AutoOps will ignore selected indices to prevent unnecessary events from opening. You can add or remove indices from the list.

The Events settings report provides a list of all the events for which settings have been customized.
