I am having trouble adding relevant information to the alert emails sent from Graylog. I would like to include the actual log message that generated the email alert in the actual email alert. I am attempting to use the "message" variables does seem to work. No data is inserted into the email.
Does anyone have examples of how to include message information in an email alert?
This is with Graylog 1.2.1
Here are the variables that I am using that do not work:
${foreach backlog message}${message.source}${end}
======================
Message Timestamp: ${message.timestamp}
Message Source: ${message.source}
Message: ${message.message}
Level: ${message.level}
Process ID: ${message.process_id}
Application: ${message.application_name}
Facility: ${message.facility}
======================
These variables that appear in the email template do work:
======================
Alert Description: ${check_result.resultDescription}
Date: ${check_result.triggeredAt}
Stream ID: ${stream.id}
Stream title: ${stream.title}
Stream description: ${stream.description} ${if stream_url}
Stream URL: ${stream_url}${end}
======================

I was able to resolve this with the help of a colleague.
Come to fine out, a "call back" is not required for the email alerting.
Removing the callback still the alert still posts and email.
Within the alert you can set it to include 1 or more of the message in the email alert.
