The problem it solves

System alerts can fire at any hour, and if nobody happens to be watching the monitoring dashboard, a problem can sit unnoticed for hours. Relying on someone to keep checking a dashboard is not a reliable way to catch outages.

Who it fits

An IT team or system administrator who monitors infrastructure with Elastic and needs alerts delivered straight to their inbox.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the system checks Elastic for new alerts
  2. When a new alert is found, it reads the alert name, timestamp, severity, and summary
  3. An email is sent through Microsoft Outlook to the designated recipients
What you get

Alerts delivered to your inbox the moment they fire

You get every Elastic alert emailed straight to your team the moment it fires, day or night.

What you get

An email notification with the full alert details, sent automatically as soon as an alert triggers.

What you need

An Elastic account and a Microsoft 365 account with mail-sending permissions.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
