Create query-level monitor

Introduced 1.0 {: .label .label-purple }

Query-level monitors run the query and check whether the results should trigger any alerts. As such, query-level monitors can only trigger one alert at a time. For more information about query-level monitors versus bucket-level monitors, see Create monitors.

If you want to specify a timezone, you can do so by including a cron expression with a timezone name in the schedule section of your request.

The following example creates a monitor that runs at 12:10 PM Pacific Time on the 1st day of every month.

For a full list of timezone names, refer to Wikipedia. The alerting plugin uses the Java TimeZone class to convert a ZoneId to a valid timezone.


Create bucket-level monitor

Bucket-level monitors categorize results into buckets separated by fields. The monitor then runs your script with each bucket's results and evaluates whether to trigger an alert. For more information about bucket-level monitors versus query-level monitors, see Create monitors.

Update monitor

Introduced 1.0 {: .label .label-purple }

When updating a monitor, you can optionally include seq_no and primary_term as URL parameters. If these numbers don't match the existing monitor or the monitor doesn't exist, the alerting plugin throws an error. OpenSearch increments the version number and the sequence number automatically (see the sample response).

Update destination

Introduced 1.0 {: .label .label-purple }

When updating a destination, you can optionally include seq_no and primary_term as URL parameters. If these numbers don't match the existing destination or the destination doesn't exist, the alerting plugin throws an error. OpenSearch increments the version number and the sequence number automatically (see the sample response).
