Search Monitors tool

Introduced 2.13

The SearchMonitorsTool retrieves information about alerting monitors set up on your cluster. For more information about alerting monitors, see Monitors.

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

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_Monitors_Tool",
  "type": "flow",
  "description": "this is a test agent for the SearchMonitorsTool",
  "memory": {
    "type": "demo"
  },
  "tools": [
    {
      "type": "SearchMonitorsTool",
      "name": "DemoSearchMonitorsTool",
      "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 alerting monitors?"
  }
}

OpenSearch responds with a list of alerting monitors set up on your cluster and the total number of alerting monitors:

{
  "inference_results": [
    {
      "output": [
        {
          "name": "response",
          "result": "Monitors=[{id=j_9mYo0Bk4MTqircEzk_,name=test-monitor,type=query_level_monitor,enabled=true,enabledTime=1706752873144,lastUpdateTime=1706752873145}{id=ZuJnYo0B9RaBCvhuEVux,name=test-monitor-2,type=query_level_monitor,enabled=true,enabledTime=1706752938405,lastUpdateTime=1706752938405}]TotalMonitors=2"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

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

{
  "inference_results": [
    {
      "output": [
        {
          "name": "response",
          "result": "Monitors=[]TotalMonitors=0"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
