Hello team,
While configuring the watcher I am facing issues w.r.t email notifications.
Trying to send an alert about node's CPU utilization and other paramenters, I am not able to get or rather set subject to send hostname and other details.
I am talking wrt terms with ctx.xxx.yyyy
say ctx.hostname, ctx.ip address kind of stuff.
I would like to have an alert in this format:
The is an alert triggered wrt to environment node. Attend it on priority.
##########################################
Alert Type: {{ctx.metadata.name}}
Host: {{ctx.metadata.}}
HostIP: {{ctx.payload}}
Timestamp: {{ctx.execution\_time}}
Possible solutions: httplinktotroubleshootdocument
##########################################

The email subject can contain Mustache templates just like the body of the email. So your [email action](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.6/actions-email.html) might look like
```auto
"actions" : {
"send_email" : {
"email" : {
"to" : "@",
"subject" : "High CPU Utiliziation on {{ctx.hostname}} at {{ctx.execution_time}}",
"body" : "..."
}
}
}
```
If you are getting errors when setting up the action, please reply with the relevant errors.
