Search Alerts tool

Introduced 2.12

This is an experimental feature and is not recommended for use in a production environment. For updates on the progress of the feature or if you want to leave feedback, see the associated GitHub issue.

The SearchAlertsTool retrieves information about generated alerts. For more information about alerts, see Alerting.

Step 1: Register a flow agent that will run the SearchAlertsTool

A flow agent runs a sequence of tools in order and returns the last tool’s output. To create a flow agent, send the following register agent request:

POST /_plugins/_ml/agents/_register
{
  "name": "Test_Agent_For_Search_Alerts_Tool",
  "type": "flow",
  "description": "this is a test agent for the SearchAlertsTool",
  "memory": {
    "type": "demo"
  },
  "tools": [
      {
      "type": "SearchAlertsTool",
      "name": "DemoSearchAlertsTool",
      "parameters": {}
    }
  ]
}

For parameter descriptions, see Register parameters.

OpenSearch responds with an agent ID:

{
  "agent_id": "EuJYYo0B9RaBCvhuy1q8"
}

Step 2: Run the agent

Run the agent by sending the following request:

POST /_plugins/_ml/agents/EuJYYo0B9RaBCvhuy1q8/_execute
{
  "parameters": {
    "question": "Do I have any alerts?"
  }
}

OpenSearch responds with a list of generated alerts and the total number of alerts:

{
  "inference_results": [
    {
      "output": [
        {
          "name": "response",
          "result": "Alerts=[Alert(id=rv9nYo0Bk4MTqirc_DkW, version=394, schemaVersion=5, monitorId=ZuJnYo0B9RaBCvhuEVux, workflowId=, workflowName=, monitorName=test-monitor-2, monitorVersion=1, monitorUser=User[name=admin, backend_roles=[admin], roles=[own_index, all_access], custom_attribute_names=[], user_requested_tenant=null], triggerId=ZeJnYo0B9RaBCvhuEVul, triggerName=t-1, findingIds=[], relatedDocIds=[], state=ACTIVE, startTime=2024-02-01T02:03:18.420Z, endTime=null, lastNotificationTime=2024-02-01T08:36:18.409Z, acknowledgedTime=null, errorMessage=null, errorHistory=[], severity=1, actionExecutionResults=[], aggregationResultBucket=null, executionId=ZuJnYo0B9RaBCvhuEVux_2024-02-01T02:03:18.404853331_51c18f2c-5923-47c3-b476-0f5a66c6319b, associatedAlertIds=[])]TotalAlerts=1"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

If no alerts are found, OpenSearch responds with an empty array in the results:

{
  "inference_results": [
    {
      "output": [
        {
          "name": "response",
          "result": "Alerts=[]TotalAlerts=0"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
