PRISM Elastic Alert Email Notification Automation Workflow
This workflow automatically retrieves alarm data from the PRISM Elastic API and sends formatted email notifications to designated users via the Microsoft Graph API. Triggered on a schedule without manual intervention, it ensures timely responses and prevents the omission of important alarm information. The email content includes the alarm name, severity level, and detailed information, helping IT operations and security teams improve efficiency, quickly address abnormal events, and build an intelligent monitoring system.
Workflow Name
PRISM Elastic Alert Email Notification Automation Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow periodically retrieves alert data from the PRISM Elastic API and automatically detects the generation of new alerts. For each alert, it sends a formatted email notification to designated users via the Microsoft Graph API, enabling automatic alert delivery and timely response.
- Scheduled triggering with no manual intervention required
- Supports batch processing of multiple alerts to ensure none are missed
- Email content includes alert name, severity level, timestamp, and detailed information for comprehensive insight
- Utilizes OAuth2 authentication to ensure secure email transmission
Core Problems Addressed
Traditional alert systems often rely on manual periodic checks or single-point notifications, which can lead to missed critical alerts or delayed responses. This workflow automates scheduled alert retrieval and instant email notification, helping operations and security teams become aware of and handle anomalies promptly, thereby improving efficiency and response speed.
Use Cases
- Automated alert delivery in IT operations monitoring centers
- Real-time notifications in security incident management
- Health status monitoring of business systems
- Any scenario requiring automated email notifications based on Elastic alerts
Main Workflow Steps
- Schedule Trigger: Periodically initiates the workflow to trigger subsequent actions
- Get Elastic Alert: Calls the PRISM Elastic API to fetch the latest alert data
- Response is not empty: Checks whether the returned alert data is non-empty
- Loop Over Each Alert Item: Splits the alert list into individual alerts for processing one by one
- Send Email Notification: Sends alert emails via Microsoft Graph API
- No Operation: Completes the current alert processing and waits for the next scheduled trigger
Involved Systems or Services
- PRISM Elastic API: Provides real-time alert data retrieval
- Microsoft Graph API (Outlook Email Service): Sends formatted alert email notifications
- n8n Scheduler Trigger: Periodically starts the workflow
- n8n Conditional and Batch Processing Nodes: Facilitate alert data filtering and batch handling
Target Users and Value
- IT Operations Engineers: Automate alert management to enhance operational efficiency
- Security Analysts: Receive timely awareness of security threats for rapid response
- DevOps Teams: Build automated monitoring notification pipelines to ensure business stability
- Enterprise Management: Obtain prompt email notifications of system anomalies to support decision-making
- Any teams or individuals relying on Elastic alert systems requiring automated email notifications
Summary: This workflow streamlines the process from Elastic alert generation to email notification, reducing manual monitoring burdens and enhancing the timeliness and accuracy of alert responses. It is a vital tool for building intelligent operations and security monitoring frameworks.
