Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does KaaE mean?

KaaE stands for Kibana Alert App for Elasticsearch


Q: Is KaaE a finished product?

KaaE is fully functional but still under heavy development and is provided as-is.
Use at your own risk!


Q: Is KaaE a Watcher clone?

KaaE is a Kibana application and its core scheduler runs within the Kibana server and is controlled with a dedicated UI, while Elastic Watcher is a head-less, Elasticsearch plugin and runs inside of Elasticsearch (and requires a commercial license to function past trial)

KaaE is not a Watcher clone per-se, but it does share configuration style with Elastic Watcher to ease the pain of users migrating between the two solutions and could potentially be used to manage Elastic Watcher alerts.


Q: How can I help?

KaaE is Open-Source and anyone can tremendously help the project by contributing code, testing, hunting bugs and extending documentation. Non technical user? Help us by spreading the word about our solutions.
