Thanks for reaching out, @Roshan_Joel.

- What version of Elastic are you using?
- Can you say more about how you are configuring your action?
- Can you share a code snippet or screenshot of the UI?

There was also a [similar post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-include-log-field-value-in-the-alert-body-message/245876) on this subject that came up that might be helpful to check out, too.

Hi @jessgarson ,

1. We're using v 8.12.2  
2.We sought to receive alerts whenever specific keywords ("struck thread," "error," etc.) matched within our logs, along with the complete log containing the message and server details.
2.

Thanks for the follow up, @Roshan_Joel. Do you get the same results by switching up `{{_source}}` with `{{context.message}}`?
