Alert - Custom field about kapacitor HOT 5 CLOSED

@aabouzaid Yes, if you have a use case in mind please open a new issue.

from kapacitor.

I have not tried but judging by the documentation the email body is a dump of the JSON data, if that's the case there should be a method like message() to force a specific user template instead, it would be a nice way to solve this issue.

I just started to play around with kapacitor but that is clearly something I will need when I try to really use it, having a JSON dump in the body does not seems hat useful for real world use, if you are going to send the alert to another program http would be far easier.

The alert node supports methods like .id() and .message() that define templates for a unique id for the alert as well as the single line message. We could add .details() method that defines a template for more detail which can be used by the email handler.

@nathanielc that will be indeed usefull to have .details() method

from kapacitor.

Hmmm I'm not sure, but isn't this issue about creating a "Custom field" in general?

Now there is details field, but what if a field needs to be added? (as same as the level of details field, not inside it).

I think this is not covered here. Should I open a new issue?
