look

@MohdRashid01 Good, now you can start to customize the alert_text, using variable substitution.

Ex:

alert_text_type: alert_text_only
alert_subject: "This is my alert subject"
alert_text: "Alert! {0}"
alert_text_args:
- message

@nsano-rururu Not sure I'm following. The way I'm reading the logic it looks correct. If the alert type is neither text-only nor text-jinja then include the rule text, top-counts, and match-items. That seems correct to me.

@jertel

my misunderstanding. I'm sorry.
There was no problem in operation.

[w-HA]

to help our config ( change fields regarding yours )

alert_subject: "{0} {1} {2}"
alert_subject_args: ["service","resource","text"]

alert_text: |
Begin problem at {0}
Value : {1}
Tags : {2}
alert_text_args: ["createTime","value","tags"]
alert_text_type: alert_text_only

w-HA

[jertel]

If you'd like more support you will need to provide further details such as screenshots of the emails after your latest attempts, elastalert logs, configurations, and anything else that you think will give us what we need to assist you.

[jertel]

Your rule does not have the required fields that we have been telling you to add.
