Hi,

I want to use the Alerts and Actions feature, to create a Log treshold alert on the field "cluster\_state.status". Which is a standard field used to monitor the cluster status.  
This field is not available in the dropdown.  
How can I make this field available in the dropdown?

Hi @Debeste,

The reason for not seeing that field is that the "Log threshold alert" relies on the same indices used in Observability \> Logs, and `monitoring-es-*` is not included in that list. If you really want to use this type of alert in that index, you can add it in Observability \> Logs \> Settings \> Indices. Then, the alert will show all the fields contained in the `.monitoring-es-*` indices.
