Hello,  
i want to send kibana alerts to the index in elasticsearch. For this purpose i created rule and select index type connector. But i need also alerts status,but when i tried some variables for visible alerts status no one worked .  
Here is my JSON document for index:

{  
"alert\_id": "{{alert.id}}",  
"rule\_id": "{{rule.id}}",  
"status": "{{\*}}", // I have also tried {alert.status}, {kibana.alert.status}, and {context.status}  
"reason": "{{context.reason}}",  
"service\_name": "{{context.serviceName}}",  
"date": "{{date}}"  
}

However, the status field remains empty in the index. For example, the indexed alert appears like this:

{  
"\_index": "kibanalert-dev",  
"\_id": "\_7diD5IBcuQynkqd-uSP",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"alert\_id": "my-ms\_request",  
"rule\_id": "4de0ed90-7745-11ef-942e-71e8069c78d5",  
"status": "",  
"reason": "Avg. latency is 1.0 ms in the last 5 mins for service: my-ms, env: dev, type: request. Alert when \> 1,000 μs.",  
"service\_name": "my-ms",  
"date": "2024-09-20T12:23:15.167Z"  
}  
}

Is there a specific variable I should use to correctly capture the status? Or is there a way to check the alert status before sending it to the index?

Thanks in advance!
