@ -22,6 +22,18 @@ The OpenSearch Dashboard Alerting plugin provides four monitor types:
* **per cluster metrics** This monitor runs API requests on the cluster to monitor its health.
* **per document** This monitor runs a query (or multiple queries combined by a tag) that returns individual documents that match the alert notification trigger condition.

Monitor | A job that runs on a defined schedule and queries OpenSearch indexes. The results of these queries are then used as input for one or more *triggers*.
Trigger | Conditions that, if met, generate *alerts*.
Tag | A label that can be applied to multiple queries to combine them with the logical OR operation in a per document monitor. You can't use tags with other monitor types.
Alert | An event associated with a trigger. When an alert is created, the trigger performs *actions*, which can include sending a notification.
Action | The information that you want the monitor to send out after being triggered. Actions have a *destination*, a message subject, and a message body.
Destination | A reusable location for an action. Supported locations are Amazon Chime, Email, Slack, or custom webhook.
Finding | An entry for an individual document found by a per document monitor query that contains the Document ID, index name, and timestamp. Findings are stored in the Findings index: `.opensearch-alerting-finding*`.
