Tool to list entity records in the entity store with support for paging, sorting, and filtering. use when you need to retrieve a list of entities such as users, hosts, or services.

Why this helps

Responders can spend time translating a name in a Slack report into a separate Kibana search.

  • Search for named entities in a report.
  • Return possible matches where the run is reported.
  • Reduce repetitive lookup work during triage.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Kibana to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction to find matching Kibana entities when a Slack report names a host, user, or service.
  • 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one real report containing an entity name.
