Description
Wednesday Apr 03, 2019 at 01:03 GMT
Originally opened as https://github.com/opendistro-for-elasticsearch/alerting/issues/21
Current behavior is to send the user's alert text when their monitor or trigger is in the "Error" state. This is confusing, since I don't know whether the problem is captured by the data or whether the problem is evaluating the trigger.
I need some way to have Open Distro alert me that there's a problem in my setup.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how monitor and trigger errors currently produce notifications, then trace the existing alert-text path described in the issue. Define how a setup-error alert should differ from a data or trigger alert, and identify the notification flow that would need to support it. Done means users can receive a distinct alert when monitor evaluation enters an Error state.
