Actions are not required on alerts. In some cases you may want to run an alert without actions first to understand its behavior, and configure actions later.

=== Global actions configuration
Some actions configuration options apply to all actions.
If you are using an *on-premises* Elastic Stack deployment, you can set these in the kibana.yml file.
If you are using a cloud deployment, you can set these via the console.

Here's a list of the available global configuration options and an explanation of what each one does:

* `xpack.actions.allowedHosts`: Set to an array of host names which actions such as email, slack, pagerduty, and webhook can connect to. An element of * indicates any host can be connected to. An empty array indicates no hosts can be connected to. Default: [ {asterisk} ]
* `xpack.actions.enabledActionTypes`: Set to an array of action types that are enabled. An element of * indicates all action types registered are enabled. The action types provided by Kibana are: .server-log, .slack, .email, .index, .pagerduty, .webhook. Default: [ {asterisk} ]
* `xpack.actions.proxyUrl`: Specifies the proxy URL to use, if using a proxy for actions.
* `xpack.actions.proxyHeader`: Specifies HTTP headers for proxy, if using a proxy for actions.
* `xpack.actions.proxyRejectUnauthorizedCertificates`: Set to `false` to bypass certificate validation for proxy, if using a proxy for actions.
* `xpack.actions.rejectUnauthorized`: Set to `false` to bypass certificate validation for actions.
