Good evening from japan  
Dear Elastic Engineers,  
I am always grateful for your help

In Elasticsearch/Kibana version 7 series, I would like to create a mechanism to send an alert email when a specific log is received by Elasticsearch or Kibana.  
I would like to achieve this goal in the least costly way possible.  
I've tried looking up some methods and actually building

The first is about [Watcher].  
Watchers are a paid Elastic feature, so you can't use them.

The second is [Elasalert2].  
We actually introduced Elasalert and tried it out.  
However, unfortunately it is not possible to send an alert mail due to the following error.  
URL→[About Elastalert errors](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-elastalert-errors/329138)

So, dear engineers, please share your wisdom.  
Other than these methods (Elasalert and watcher), I would like to know any OSS or plugins that realize a mechanism to send an email when Elasticsearch detects a specific log.

Thank you very much
