Is there an option to log queries made to Elasticsearch. I see that there was a slowlog option in elasticsearch 5 to log these by setting the thresholds to 1ms, but this appears to be gone in elasticsearch 7.x I am currently using the `xpack.security.audit.enabled:true` field, but that only logs that a query was made and does not log the query itself. Thanks! ---

The slow log [is still available](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.9/index-modules-slowlog.html). ---
