Find Kibana alerts after a GitHub Actions failure

Skip the blank-page moment after CI fails and go straight to the signals that may explain it.

Trigger

GitHub Workflow Run State Changed

Triggers when a GitHub Actions workflow run's status or conclusion changes. Monitors a single workflow run and fires an event whenever it transitions between states (e.g., queued to in_progress, or in_progress to completed) or when its conclusion is set (e.g., success, failure, cancelled).

Action

Find Kibana Alerts

Tool to find and/or aggregate detection alerts in kibana. use this to retrieve a list of alerts, optionally filtering them with a query and performing aggregations.

Why this helps

Investigating failed automation often starts with repetitive, unfocused log hunting.

  • Shortens investigation startup
  • Brings relevant signals together

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect both integrations in Notis.
  • 2Create a new portal automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to search Kibana alerts for relevant signals whenever a GitHub workflow run fails.
  • 4Pick the workflow run state trigger and a reporting channel.
  • 5Cause a controlled workflow failure and check the run report.
