Kibana Alert Routing and Incident Case Management

When a Kibana alerting rule fires, evaluate the alert severity, create or update an incident case, execute the appropriate connector to notify the on-call team, and post a summary to the engineering Slack channel.

How the workflow runs

The scenario uses specific integration tools at each step, while Metorial keeps access scoped and visible.

  1. 1

    Identify the Triggering Alert

    Retrieve the alerting rule that fired to understand the condition, threshold, and severity level before taking action.

    • kibana.search_rules
  2. 2

    Check for Existing Incident Case

    Search existing Kibana cases to determine whether this alert is already being tracked to avoid duplicate incident records.

    • kibana.search_cases
  3. 3

    Create or Update Incident Case

    Create a new case for the incident or update the existing one with current alert details, severity, and initial triage notes.

    • kibana.manage_case
    • kibana.add_case_comment
  4. 4

    Execute Notification Connector

    Trigger the appropriate connector based on severity: PagerDuty for critical alerts, email for warnings, or webhook for custom integrations.

    • kibana.execute_connector
  5. 5

    Post Engineering Alert to Slack

    Send a structured alert summary to the engineering Slack channel with the case link, severity, and recommended initial response steps.

    • slack.send_message

Integration

Kibana

Manage Kibana resources and the Elastic Stack visualization layer programmatically. Create, import, export, and organize saved objects such as dashboards, visualizations, and data views across spaces. Configure alerting rules with threshold, query, and metric conditions, and connect them to actions via connectors (email, Slack, PagerDuty, webhook, Jira, ServiceNow, and more). Manage data views (index patterns) that define which Elasticsearch indices Kibana queries. Create and organize spaces to separate dashboards and objects into meaningful categories. Track incidents with cases, define and monitor Service Level Objectives (SLOs), manage Fleet agent policies and enrollments, configure security detection rules for SIEM, and control role-based access with Kibana feature privileges.

Integration

Slack

Slack: connect with bot OAuth or user OAuth. Send, update, delete, and schedule messages; list and cancel scheduled messages; open DMs and group DMs; manage conversations, members, files, reactions, pins, bookmarks, reminders, user groups, and user status; search messages and files with user scopes; and retrieve user, conversation, and workspace info.
