Create an OpenSearch alert monitor

{start_tabs}

1. To use the notification channel created above in an alerting action, create an alert monitor. From the OpenSearch menu, select Alerting from the OpenSearch Plugins section, and click Create monitor.

2. Configure the alert monitor by entering the monitor details, selecting the index to monitor, and adding a trigger. In the Actions section, select the notification channel created above as the Notification action.

3. OpenSearch sends notifications as plain text, so you will want to use a Message template to format your messages in Zulip. To generate the topic of your Zulip messages via the notification content, you can use the first line of your template to do so. It must be formatted as topic: DYNAMIC_TOPIC_CONTENT, and all message content should start on the second line of the template. For example, this template was used to generate the example screenshot below:

   {% raw %}
   topic: {{ctx.monitor.name}}
   Alert of severity **{{ctx.trigger.severity}}** triggered by **{{ctx.trigger.name}}** at {{ctx.periodStart}} UTC.
   {% endraw %}
   

   !!! tip ""

    The **Message template** supports Markdown and Mustache template
    variables.
   

4. Click Send test message to test the integration, and click Create to save the monitor.
