Hi All,

I have set email configuration and I am able to receive the static email. When I changed body to dynamic I can't retrieve e.x. hostname.

I can see the fields in Kibana Search. I am able to get only the fields available in ctx. Below is my ctx:

> {  
> "ctx" : {  
> "metadata" : {  
> "name" : "fuse file managment "  
> },  
> "watch\_id" : "fuse-file-management",  
> "payload" : {  
> "\_shards" : {  
> "total" : 378,  
> "failed" : 0,  
> "successful" : 378,  
> "skipped" : 0  
> },  
> "hits" : {  
> "hits" : ,  
> "total" : 414648,  
> "max\_score" : 0.0  
> },  
> "took" : 155,  
> "timed\_out" : false  
> },  
> "id" : "fuse-file-management\_ae826335-a488-45cc-912f-68fc6cc69885-2018-01-04T05:55:34.640Z",  
> "trigger" : {  
> "triggered\_time" : "2018-01-04T05:55:34.640Z",  
> "scheduled\_time" : "2018-01-04T05:55:34.427Z"  
> },  
> "vars" : { },  
> "execution\_time" : "2018-01-04T05:55:34.640Z"  
> }  
> }

please share your watch, the output of the execute watch api (or a watch history entry) for proper debugging. Thanks!
