Hi,  
I am new to Grafana so pardon me for novice issues. 🙂  
I am facing an issue when setting up an alerting for elasticsearch in grafana. When I go and edit my panel to setup an alert, I get “The datasource doesn’t support alert queries”. I am using elasticsearch to pull the data and as I understand, Grafana does support alerts on ES queries.

I am using Grafana 6.4.3: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/2X/6/668abc5287f2599c529b7fa18bd2bb7041c6ec55.png)

Is there any step that I am missing? Which part should I look into to resolve this issue?  
Thanks
