Kibana alerting API is one of 60 APIs that [Kibana](https://apis.io/providers/kibana/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Alerting. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and authentication docs.

Alerting enables you to define rules, which detect complex conditions within your data. When a condition is met, the rule tracks it as an alert and runs the actions that are defined in the rule. Actions typically involve the use of connectors to interact with Kibana services or third party integrations.
