<p>Since we already have filebeat, metricbeat and heartbeat configured and running.</p>

<p>I wonder if people have successfully implemented the ELK stack for actual monitoring with alerting/notifications instead of using traditional software as</p>

<ul>
<li>Nagios</li>
<li>Icinga</li>
<li>Zabbix</li>
</ul>

<p>Especially since ElasticSearch now has had watchers and alerting for a while.</p>

How good are heartbeat, elasticsearch and kibana as a monitoring/alerting solution as a replacement for Nagios?

Since we already have filebeat, metricbeat and heartbeat configured and running.

I wonder if people have successfully implemented the ELK stack for actual monitoring with alerting/notifications instead of using traditional software as

* Nagios
* Icinga
* Zabbix

Especially since ElasticSearch now has had watchers and alerting for a while.
