Description

The Alerts UI currently hard-codes the set of indices. It would be preferred to use the REST API to get a list of index names for a given writer (e.g. elasticsearch, solr, hdfs).

This functions in the following way:

• If an index config exists, then the index name will be returned. If unspecified, then the sensor name is used
• If a parser exists and an index does NOT exist, then it will be included.
• If the writer is disabled in the index config, then it will NOT be included.
