Inconsistent newlines in watcher email body text

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm using this Watcher code to send myself emails:

    "body": {
      "text": "{{#ctx.payload.hits.hits}}{{_source.@timestamp}} {{_source.message}}\n{{/ctx.payload.hits.hits}}"

But I don't get a newline in the email body between hits. But when I add some extra characters around the newline like this:

    "body": {
      "text": "{{#ctx.payload.hits.hits}}{{_source.@timestamp}} {{_source.message}} *\n* {{/ctx.payload.hits.hits}}"

The newline magically appears between the asterisks. This is the latest ELK stack with Kibana 6.4.

Why is this inconsistent? I just want a simple list of my hits in the email body.

Thanks

You can change the body to html :slight_smile:
"body": { "html": """ <html>...</html>"""}

Then you will be able to customize emails as much as you want

this looks like a duplicate from Inconsistent newlines in email body text - unless I am missing something.
