## 2019-01-31, Version 0.7.0.0

### Features

This is the first release of the OpenDistro Elasticsearch Alerting plugin.

Allows users to create and schedule **monitors** to run periodic queries of data in Elasticsearch.
Results of periodic queries are evaluated against the monitor's **triggers** to see if they meet certain criteria.
If criteria is met, **alerts** are generated and saved in an Elasticsearch index and the user is notified by the trigger's **actions**.
Actions are messages using mustache templating created by the user that are sent to **destinations**.
Destinations are locations where action messages are sent, such as email server, slack, chime, or custom webhooks.
Alerts can be acknowledged to mute notifications.

* Adds backend REST API used for basic CRUD, search operations, and testing on monitors as well as acknowledging alerts.

* Adds configuration API to enable/disable monitoring.

* Adds stats API to check the status of plugin and ensure everything is working as expected.

* Adds API support for create, update, and deleting destinations.
