Hey Guys, I have setup an Alert for my backup Monitoring where in message Field if it says "Network related issue" with a threshold reached it gives me an alert. The alert contains the contents severity and the message from the message field. I also have server IP field which contains the IP. My question is, How do i include my server IP here along with the message field to be alerted to my mail. is there any custom way to set it up. ---

Actually I am using Elasticsearch opensource provided in AWS, for alerting we intergrate with the AWS SNS and send the mail. ---

You will have to reach out to them about their alerting system and how to include additional information in the message. ---
