The alerting feature notifies users when the search criteria is met for the documents in the indices.The monitoring configurations are stored in the .opendistro-alerting-config index, while daily alerts are stored in the .opendistro-alerting-alerts index.

The .opendistro-alerting-alert-history-  indices begin to populate as soon as the monitor is created and the search criteria is met.Note: To delete or modify the content of any indices, use the alerting APIs.
