According to their subscriptions overview page, Kibana Alerting is supported in the Basic Lisence.
However I'm unable to find/activate the feature on Kibana.
I've been searching the ES forums, can't really find a clear answer whether Alerting is actually available in the Basic license or not.
Btw: security settings is activated in my cluster

Is there basic authentication free with elastic search (basic) distributed version or this falls under the 30 days trial feature ?
We are working on adding elastic search as indexing solution for our application. Bit confused with licensing and subscription where they mention that distributed has some feature like Xpack for security free but also mention that it is under trail version.
So the question is can we add basic security to elastic search and use it without any trial issue or it is trial pack ?
basic Elastic Security features are free since v6.8 or v7.1. No trial. From this feature matrix, here's what you get for free:
Secure settings
Encrypted communications
Role-based access control
File and native authentication
Kibana Spaces
Kibana feature controls
API keys management
Your basic authentication requirement is covered by using file or native authentication (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.11/setting-up-authentication.html), as long as you don't have to integrate your authentication process with an identity provider.

I need to send email automatically whenever any error comes in my Elastic search.
Is there anyway to do it.
I dont want to use Elastic Cloud for it.
I can use Watcher in Kibana, but my question is whether the "Watcher" is available in local also along with cloud?
Please help!
Watcher is available in on-premises installations if you have at least a Gold License, it is not available with the free basic license.
The same thing for the Kibana e-mail action, it needs a Gold License.
You can check what is available at the subscription page.
If you do not have a Gold License for your on-premises cluster, you will need an external tool to query elasticsearch and send e-mails, you can build one using one of the official clients libraries (python, node.js, java etc) or you can try other tools like elastalert.
I had a few questions in regards to elasticsearch architecture and associated services and/or products that is not clear to me.
The idea is to setup an elasticsearch instance for searching through file shares, Exchange mailboxes, Sharepoint sites and even Teams conversations if possible.
How would I setup the elasticsearch instance to support the following requirements:
Security filtering results from these sources for users
Develop on a simple and clean web search page like SearchUI from Elastic themselves.
Active Directory or ADFS authentication
Use nodejs on a separate server to proxy to elastic, as elastic user management means that users get access to all search results
I can find tutorials and blogs on some of these items, but no comprehensive description of how the architecture would actually work specifically with the SearchUI and proxying of data to ES.
Please have a look at this new product released by Elastic guys using same elastic search framework

it closley matches your requirement.
I'm evaluating ES for our project use case. Once of the requirement is security. I have some questions regarding ES license and security features ?
Does basic license include security ?
If security enabled in basic ( free ) version does it include document fields level security ? if not what level free security stops ?
There are some confusing information regarding this hence i thought to post it here to get clear understanding.
Inline answers:
1. Does basic license include security ?
Yes, from ES 6.8 its included in basic free license but in basic license it's off by default using x-pack security config `xpack.security.enabled. it can be enabled.
More info on above setting in this official doc. Also please refer Elastic blog on making security free, which has detailed information.
2. If security enabled in basic ( free ) version does it include document fields level security? if not what level free security stops ?
Edit: As I looked into Elastic blog it seems the document level security is still a paid feature as from the same blog:
Note that our advanced security features — from single sign-on and
Active Directory/LDAP authentication to field- and document-level
security — remain paid features

Does ICP provide alerting on logs or this is something extra? My use case is to alert on critical exception keywords in application logs. ICP's Prometheus alerts deals with metrics/numbers. I am familiar with Graylog which uses ElasticSearch and it provides alerting feature. What is the ICP recommendation for alerting on messages/events in logs?
You can do this with elastalert: https://elastalert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
https://github.com/Yelp/elastalert
https://github.com/bitsensor/yelp-elastalert
If you are looking for ICP supported or inbuilt log alerting then there isn't any. You may have to rely on external tools build upon elastic search as David as pointed out in the answer.
