Explanation
Correlation searches can perform adaptive response actions when they find a pattern in the data. Adaptive response actions are automated or manual responses that you can use to modify your environment based on notable events. For example, you can block an IP address, add a user to a watchlist, or send an email notification. Configuring correlation adaptive responses is part of tuning correlation searches for a new ES installation, as it allows you to customize the actions that are triggered by the correlation searches. You can enable, disable, or modify the adaptive response actions for each correlation search, or create your own custom actions.
