I've set up a Log Threshold alert to match on errors in the message and I'd like to send the matching logs in the webhook action I've created. It doesn't seem like there's a way to get these yet?

@Patrick_Mueller is this possible or via regular kibana logs?

It doesn't look like this alert provides the matching documents in a context variable that an action might be able to make use of. I'd suggest opening an issue against Kibana requesting this as an enhancement.

Thanks carl0s - I've added some labels so the right team will see the issue.
