1. Click on the New Monitor link under Monitors on the main menu.
2. Select Integration and choose Elasticsearch.
3. Switch to the Integration Metric tab at the top right.
4. Select one of the work metrics for Elasticsearch. Decide whether you want an alert for each Elasticsearch host or for all of them as a group.
5. Set the appropriate alert conditions based on what you have seen.
6. Enter a Monitor Message. Use the template variables to make it a dynamic message. Format the message using Markdown.
