Hi @vagimeli , while you are working on alerting for 2.8, maybe you can address these issues? Thanks!

@hdhalter Feedback is being addressed as we revise and add new documentation. For visibility, I'll link this issue to PRs as feedback is addressed.

[hdhalter]

@vagimeli - do you mean you addressed the comment on monitors in this PR: https://github.com/opensearch-project/documentation-website/pull/4024/files?

[vagimeli]

@hdhalter Most of these topics involve backend developer insight. I've noted those that require the dev to be the doc writing lead.

@vagimeli - Why did you close this?

@hdhalter

@vagimeli - Why did you close this?

I was clearing out issues that were months or year+ old and haven't had any developer response.

@hdhalter Who are the developers assigned to this topic area? Before writing can get started, we need to know if the developer has any existing documentation they created while developing this feature. I don't have any resources that have been shared with me to date. Thanks!
