Alert/Notification using Kibana3?

alert, elasticsearch, kibana, logstash

Solution

There is an `email` option in logstash in which on detecting a certain pattern in log one can send an email. Look into docs for further reading: http://logstash.net/docs/1.4.1/outputs/email

Problem

I am using `logstash-1.4.1`, `elasticsearch-1.1.1` and `kibana-3.1.0` for analyzing my logs. I am able to view and query my logs. There's a need in which an alert/notification is needed when a particular log/event happens. Eg: When a Login failed log occurs again and again, an alert/notification (popup, via mail, etc) is required. Presently I can query my log like for Failed login, but I want it whenever such a log appears a notification/popup appears than me manually querying for it. Can this be done using the above three ?? How can this be achieved?
