AI Agent for Elastic Alert Email Notifier via Graph API

Monitors Elastic alerts, retrieves alert data, and automatically emails recipients via Microsoft Graph API with alert details.

How it works
1 Step
Fetch new Elastic alerts
2 Step
Compose and send email via Graph API
3 Step
Log delivery and handle retries
The AI agent authenticates to Elastic and queries for new or unresolved alerts, extracting essential fields like name, timestamp, severity, and message.

Overview

What the AI agent does end-to-end and the value it delivers.

This AI agent connects to the Elastic API to fetch alert data and monitors for new alerts. It formats the details and sends email notifications through Microsoft Graph API to designated recipients. This enables rapid awareness and quick action on critical alerts.


Capabilities

What Elastic Alert Email Notifier does

Automates alert-to-email flow with structured details.

01

Connect to the Elastic API to fetch new alerts.

02

Identify and extract key fields: name, timestamp, severity, and message.

03

Format a consistent email payload with alert details.

04

Send email via Microsoft Graph API to configured recipients.

05

Log delivery status and track failures for auditing.

06

Handle retries and update recipient lists when on-call changes.

Why you should use Elastic Alert Email Notifier

This AI agent replaces fragmented manual work with a predictable execution flow.

Before
Missed alerts due to manual monitoring.
Delays when switching between Elastic dashboards to copy recipients.
Recipients receiving alerts that are no longer relevant due to on-call changes.
Inconsistent alert content and formatting across notifications.
No audit trail of email deliveries or failures.
After
Alerts arrive instantly in the right inboxes, with consistent formatting.
Recipients always receive the relevant alert details (name, time, severity, message).
Delivery status is logged and easy to review for compliance.
On-call lists update automatically to reflect rotations.
Retries and failures are surfaced and retried automatically until delivered.
Process

How it works

A simple 3-step flow that non-technical users can follow.

Step 01

Fetch new Elastic alerts

The AI agent authenticates to Elastic and queries for new or unresolved alerts, extracting essential fields like name, timestamp, severity, and message.

Step 02

Compose and send email via Graph API

The AI agent formats the alert into a structured email and sends it to configured recipients using Microsoft Graph API.

Step 03

Log delivery and handle retries

The AI agent records delivery outcomes, retries failed deliveries, and updates recipient lists if necessary.


Example

Example AI agent scenario

A realistic scenario showing timing and outcomes.

At 02:15, a high-severity Elastic alert is triggered. The AI agent retrieves the alert details and emails the on-call distribution list via Graph API within seconds, including alert name, timestamp, severity, and a concise summary. The recipient confirms action taken and the delivery is logged for auditing.

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions about setup, behavior, and customization.

This AI agent monitors Elastic alerts in real time and sends email notifications through Microsoft Graph API. It runs as a configured AI agent within your automation environment, coordinating Elastic API calls and Graph API deliveries. Setup includes OAuth credentials for Graph access and an email recipient list. The flow is designed to be lightweight, scalable, and auditable, providing reliable email delivery for critical alerts.

Yes. You can specify recipient lists as static emails or dynamic groups that update based on on-call schedules. The AI agent reads these lists during each alert cycle and adapts delivery accordingly. You can also configure per-severity routing to target different teams. Updates to recipients are reflected in future executions without code changes.

The AI agent can be configured to monitor multiple Elastic endpoints. Each cluster can have its own alert filters and recipient mappings. It aggregates alerts per cluster and routes them independently to the appropriate inboxes. This keeps cross-cluster noise separate while maintaining a single, unified notification mechanism.

Each email includes the alert name, timestamp, severity, and a concise summary of the message. You can extend the body to include additional fields exposed by Elastic, such as the cluster, related tags, or the alert URL. The format is consistent across notifications to help responders scan and act quickly.

Delivery relies on Microsoft Graph API with built-in retry logic. The AI agent logs success or failure and will retry transient errors automatically. If repeated failures occur, it surfaces the issue for remediation and can switch to an alternate route if configured. Delivery metrics are captured for auditing and improvement.

Set up OAuth2 credentials in your Graph portal with Mail.Send permission. Configure these credentials in your AI agent environment to authorize Graph API calls. The setup is typically limited to a few steps and includes testing the connection before going live. You can rotate credentials and manage scopes as needed.

Yes. You can customize the email subject, body, and included fields. The AI agent supports templating to adjust content for your team's preferences. Changes apply to new alerts without downtime. You can also add conditional sections based on alert severity or cluster.
