Hi. First post, so I am sorry if this is in the wrong categorie.
I am trying to set up an alert for my system. I got everything working but having problems with formating the message sent to the users. I have the following
```auto
{
"text": "Regarding **{{context.hits.0._source.url.path}}** at time {{context.hits.0._source.@timestamp}}"
}
```
This is results in
Regarding **Data : /collect/usage/new/users** at time 2024-02-09T12:43:16.480Z
I want to remove the text part "Data : /collect/usage" and if possible replace the T in with a space and remove the Z.
I am a bit new to the system so I am having problem inserting any kind of code. Would like to use some kind of split function but not gotten it to work.
Any help appreciated
