 #### Stack Monitoring [sm-investigations]
 The Stack Monitoring UI displays the [metrics](/deploy-manage/monitor/monitoring-data/elasticsearch-metrics.md) of your monitored {{stack}} components over time. Logs can be viewed, searched, and filtered in Discover. You can enable a pre-defined set of alerts that are triggered when specific thresholds are crossed. You can also configure your own [alerts](/deploy-manage/monitor/monitoring-data/configure-stack-monitoring-alerts.md) on any collected metrics or log messages. However, Stack Monitoring does not offer any further investigation, correlations, or root cause analyses.
