Email Notification Field Ordering

[rangerrkm]

Hello, All

I’m trying to figure out how to order my fields in an email notification. I have looked at pretty much all forum posts and must have to be missing something.

Here is my field name, along with many more. But as an example.
Severity_Name
Computer_Name

Here is my Body Template:

Fields:
{foreach event.fields field} {field.key}: ${field.value}

{message.fields.Severity_Name} {message.fields.Computer_Name)
${end}

I’m not seeing these added fields coming over into the notification email or even being duplicated, as they are in the email body already, just not in the order that I would like them in.

Thanks in advanced,

You can’t cycle through event object, if you want to use message fields, but backlog. Use this:

${foreach backlog message} ${message.fields.Severity_Name} ${message.fields.Computer_Name} ${end}

You can also use same technique in message subject, for example I use this:
User ${foreach backlog message}${message.fields.username}${end} connected to switch ${foreach backlog message}${message.source}${end} from IP ${foreach backlog message}${message.fields.src_ip}${end}

PS: You have to setup number of backlog to 1: in Alerts - Event Definitions - tab Notifications and field Message Backlog , tick the checkbox and set 1.
Message backlog define number of messages to be included in Notifications.
