My team would like to keep track of occurrences of shard failures. Is there any way to enable logging of such events?

To clarify, the event that I would like to log is the occurrence of "failed" in the \_shards block of the search response.

````auto
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 5,
    "successful" : 5,
    "failed" : 0
  },```
````

Any ideas on how this could be done?
