Hi,i want to configure an alert from filebeat, when the alert is triggered an email is sent with the error and some lines (10/20 rows) after that. How can i do that? ---

he @IIdikII as you can specify “lines” you use fields - means you first work on your log to split the informations you need/want into separate fields and if that is given you can refer them in the email that is send out. ---

Thank you jan! Just to better explain my question,i want an email like this: — [Event Definition] --------------------------- Title: Test Description: Type: aggregation-v1 — [Event] -------------------------------------- event — [Backlog] ------------------------------------ Last messages accounting for this alert: event before trigger event before trigger **event triggered** event after trigger event after trigger Is it possible? ---

that is what you configure with “backlog” of messages. ---

I’ve already tried but backlog contains only messages that matches the definition, is there a way to display all messages? Thank you for your support! ---

ah you mean like “those messages came in x seconds before and after this” ? Sorry such is not possible and it is very unlikely that this is implemented. ---

Thank you again jan, i think that the best solution is to check directly on graylog search interface after receiving the mail. ---
