Hi, I want to send alert to user whose name in log message field.
For example a user tried to access a project but he is not authorized, in this case log captured (access is forbidden for user: 'xyx') in message field. How can we send alert from ELK to this user xyz ? is this doable ?
If alert not possible to end user, can we get alert for this user in MS team or Slack ?
All application logs are coming to ELK stack.

Hi @SumitSingh,
Yes it is possible to send an alert to an email address that is found in your logs. One way to do that is to configure a [watcher](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/watcher-ui.html).
