Store 'unmatched' action for unmatched alert episodes by kdelemme · Pull Request #256527 · elastic/kibana

kdelemme · 2026-03-06T18:10:22Z

Summary

When the dispatcher runs, alert episodes that don't match any notification policy (no rule found, no policies configured, or no KQL match) are silently dropped — no action record is stored. Because the ESQL fetch query filters out episodes by checking for existing fire or suppress action records, these unmatched episodes are re-fetched every time the dispatcher runs.

This PR fixes the issue by:

Computing unmatched episodes in StoreActionsStep (episodes in state.dispatchable not present in any dispatch or throttled group) and persisting them with action_type: 'unmatched' and reason 'no matching notification policy'
Adding unmatched to the INLINE STATS filter in getDispatchableAlertEventsQuery so previously-processed-but-unmatched episodes are excluded from re-fetch (unless a newer alert event arrives)
Updating the halt condition to account for unmatched episodes

Resolves https://github.com/elastic/rna-program/issues/173

Test plan

Unit tests added for unmatched episodes stored with action_type: 'unmatched'
Unit test verifying pipeline does not halt when only unmatched episodes exist
Unit test for mixed scenario (dispatched + throttled + unmatched)
Query test updated to assert unmatched is included in INLINE STATS filter
All existing tests pass (store_actions_step.test.ts, queries.test.ts)
node scripts/check_changes.ts passes

...k/platform/plugins/shared/alerting_v2/server/lib/dispatcher/steps/store_actions_step.test.ts

+    expect(actionTypes).toContain('fire');
+    expect(actionTypes).toContain('notified');


What is the difference between fire and notified? For my benefit.

I need to rename them to all use past-tense...

action_type Meaning When applied

fire Episode dispatched to a notification destination Episode matched a notification policy, was grouped, and was not throttled

suppress Episode was suppressed and not dispatched Either (a) episode was ack'd/snoozed/deactivated, or (b) its notification group was throttled

notified Throttle bookkeeping record for a notification group Written once per dispatched notification group; used by ApplyThrottlingStep to compute last_notified for throttle intervals

unmatched Episode was processed but no action was taken Episode survived suppression checks but didn't match any notification policy (no rule found, no policies configured, or no KQL matcher matched) -- prevents re-fetching on next dispatcher run

LGTM. Seeing the expected unmatched actions.

## Summary ### Key capabilities - **ES|QL-native rule evaluation** — Rules are defined as ES|QL queries with optional WHERE clause conditions, evaluated on a configurable schedule - **Alert lifecycle management** — Full episode tracking with pending → active → recovering → inactive state transitions, including configurable alert delay (consecutive breaches / duration) - **Event-driven architecture** — Alert events and actions are stored in dedicated data streams (`.alerting-events`, `.alerting-actions`) with ES|QL views for querying - **Notification dispatch pipeline** — A multi-step dispatcher that matches alert episodes to notification policies, handles throttling/suppression, and triggers Kibana Workflows using encrypted API keys - **Notification policies** — CRUD APIs and UI for creating notification policies with KQL-based rule matching, workflow integration, and API key management - **Rule authoring UI** — A shared rule form package (`@kbn/alerting-v2-rule-form`) usable standalone or embedded in Discover, with ES|QL editor, WHERE clause condition editing, recovery configuration, and live query preview - **Rule management UI** — Full rule list with pagination, enable/disable, clone, edit, and delete operations - **APM instrumentation** — Middleware and decorators for tracing rule execution and client operations ### Architecture highlights - **InversifyJS DI** — All services use constructor injection with typed tokens, scoped per-request or singleton as appropriate - **Pipeline pattern** — Rule executor and dispatcher use composable step-based pipelines - **Saved Objects** — Rules stored as hidden saved objects; notification policies stored as encrypted saved objects (for API key protection) - **Feature privileges** — Dedicated Kibana feature with read/all privileges for RBAC --- ## Contained PRs <details> <summary>Core Engine & Plugin Init (12 PRs)</summary> -

		expect(actionTypes).toContain('fire');
		expect(actionTypes).toContain('notified');

action_type	Meaning	When applied
fire	Episode dispatched to a notification destination	Episode matched a notification policy, was grouped, and was not throttled
suppress	Episode was suppressed and not dispatched	Either (a) episode was ack'd/snoozed/deactivated, or (b) its notification group was throttled
notified	Throttle bookkeeping record for a notification group	Written once per dispatched notification group; used by ApplyThrottlingStep to compute last_notified for throttle intervals
unmatched	Episode was processed but no action was taken	Episode survived suppression checks but didn't match any notification policy (no rule found, no policies configured, or no KQL matcher matched) -- prevents re-fetching on next dispatcher run
