Hello,

I have an alert using rule from security section.  
My aim is to gather some information into the mail alert from the alert:

In my example, I would like to take the username & the ip:

```auto
{{#context.hits}} Username: {{_source.source.user.name}} - IP: {{_source.destination.ip}}
{{/context.hits}}

```

I try several different configuration following links like [Rule action variables | Kibana Guide [8.10] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/rule-action-variables.html).

But everytimes, there is a blank on my email alert.

Anyone experienced this ?  
Any clue is appreciated 🙂

Thank you
