Hi to all!!

I'm trying to get the index with ILM errors, so i created a watcher like this:

```auto
{ "trigger": { "schedule": { "interval": "10m" } }, "input": { "http": { "request": { "scheme": "https", "host": "$host", "port": 9200, "method": "get", "path": "*/_ilm/explain", "params": {"only_errors":""}, "headers": { "Authorization": "ApiKey xxxxx==" } } } }, "condition": { "always": {} }, "actions": { "test_log": { "logging": { "level": "warn", "text": "ILM Failed: {{#ctx.payload.indices}}{{index}},{{reason}}{{/ctx.payload.indices}}" } } } }

```

But I'm getting empty results

Payload is like this

```auto
 {"result": {
    "execution_time": "2023-02-28T07:50:21.496Z",
    "execution_duration": 32,

            }
          
          }}}}}}

```

Could some help me to get at least the fields index and reason ??
