I want to create an alert for the partcular panel " Log messages with error" , so that i can get an email alert if the "Error " occurs in that panel. is there any way to do that?

We don't yet have the ability to alert directly from a specific visualization or saved search, but I'd encourage you to follow along with these Github issues for updates on those features:

- [Alerting in Discover / Saved Searches](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/71099)
- [Alerting in Visualizations / Dashboards](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/71560)

Currently (as of 7.10), Alerting is only integrated with APM, Metrics, Security, and Uptime.

Depending on what license you have, you may also be able to set up a [threshold watch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/watcher-ui.html) using Watcher as a workaround until more widespread support for Alerting is available.

Hi @lukeelmers . thank you 😇 . but it would be great if there would be the ability to alert from the specific visualization in the future release.
