I am unable to get the field (hostname, message) from elasticsearch to grafana for setting up my alerts. I wanted to get hostname as well as event message in my alerts so that it will easy for me to identify errors. I have tried multiple ways to do the same For Example : adding variable for the same but it doesnt works. Help me with the stuff. I am sharing image for the alert which I am receiving as alerts fire ups ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/c/3c8a3db4fec53d122f02764f4e4cbbc28980df5c.png) The above image shows how an alert is fired without the instance name and you can see in messge/descirption/ I have tried multiple ways to get it by providing different ways of naming it I am also sharing you the data source inputs that I have configured ![image (3)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/7/87683544506c6559663e60e56da4f06ed67f8c36.png) ---

I am not sure if we have a heap of Grafana knowledge here unfortunately, have you asked on their forums? ---

Even if we get just hostname it will be very helpfull for us to analyse the error at that particular server ---

Is there any way, same thing can be done through Elasticsearch, I have gone through the docs of rules and connectors where it is possible to do so. They were asking for upgrade to use it in slack , can't I use slack without the upgrade ---
