Thanks to everyone who joined our webinar on comprehensive observability with Sensu and Elasticsearch. In case you missed it (or need a refresher) you can watch the recording anytime:

To get started with the Sensu Elasticsearch handler, use the following sensuctl command that will create an example configuration from our monitoring pipelines repo:

`sensuctl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sensu-community/monitoring-pipelines/master/event-storage/elasticsearch.yaml`

Or if you’d rather, [review the template](https://github.com/sensu-community/monitoring-pipelines/blob/master/event-storage/elasticsearch.yaml) directly.

Feel free to drop any questions or feedback in this thread. We can’t wait to hear what you think!
