7.12 Kibana alerting I am trying to get some details of a log message to propagate to PagerDuty. The Connector is working and events are created in PD.

I think this is only possible with a [preconfigured](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/pagerduty-action-type.html#Preconfigured-pagerduty-configuration) pager duty connecter. And, also with enabled `attach_payload` in your [elasticsearch.yml](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/actions-pagerduty.html#adding-context-and-payloads-to-pagerduty-actions) ---

Is there more detailed documentation on creating a preconfigured PD connector and attaching a payload? I'm not following the docs in the links you provided. Thanks! ---
