For example, you might trigger an alert when a shift occurs in your business critical KPIs or when

memory, CPU, or disk space take a dip.
|
||||
When the alert triggers, you can send a notification to a system that is part of your daily workflow:

email, Slack, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, and other third party integrations.

* A shift occurs in your business critical KPIs.

so you can tailor it to your specific needs without impacting others.

Most of {kib}’s entities are space-aware, including dashboards, visualizations, index patterns,
|
||||
*Canvas* workpads, graphs, tags, and machine learning jobs.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Elastic Security** is space-aware, so the timelines and investigations
|
||||
you open in one space will not be available to other spaces.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Observability** is currently partially space-aware, but will be enhanced to become fully space-aware.
|
||||
|
||||
* Most of the **Stack Management** features are not space aware because they
|
||||
are primarily used to manage features of {es}, which serves as a shared data store for all spaces.
|
||||
|
||||
* Alerts are space-aware and work nicely with the {kib} role-based access control
|
||||
model to allow you secure access to them, depending on the alert type and your user roles.
|
||||
For example, roles with no access to an app will not have access to its alerts.

==== Control feature visibility
|
||||
==== Organize your content with tags
|
||||
|
||||
You can take spaces one step further and control which features are visible
|
||||
within each space. For example, you might hide **Dev Tools** in your "Marketing"
|
||||
space or show **Stack Monitoring** only in your "Engineering" space.
|
||||
Tags are keywords or labels that you assign to {kib} saved objects,
|
||||
such as dashboards and visualizations, so you can classify them in a way that is meaningful to you.
|
||||
For example, if you tag objects with “design”, you can search and
|
||||
filter on the tag to see related objects.
|
||||
Tags are also good for grouping content into categories within a space.
|
||||
|
||||
Controlling feature visibility is not a security feature. To secure access
|
||||
to specific features on a per-user basis, you must configure
