Seq.App.EmailPlus + Source.ContributingEvents

[JHorvath-MaxetaTech]

How can I display the message property of an event in my email body using Seq.AppEmailPlus + Source.ContributingEvents in an Alert?

I'm a little lost with Handlebars, even after reviewing the default template on GitHub (which I used verbatim, and can see is able to display the property).

I know this is the section that is outputs Source as one of the properties:

{{#each $Properties}} <div style="margin-top:10px;" > <div title="{{@key}}" style="font-family:monospace;font-weight:bold;" >{{@key}}</div> <div style="font-family:monospace;word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" >{{pretty this}}</div> </div> {{/each}}

but is there some way to do {{Source.ContributingEvents[0].Message}} to just get the first event message?

The Alert documentation wasn't very clear on this...

Hi John!

I think Handlebars uses plain . property access for array indexes, so it's something like:

{{Source.ContributingEvents.0.2}}

The .0 is the first contributing event, and since the contributing events are just "columns" and the message is in the third column, it's .2 to get the message property out.

Let me know if this does the job for you!

That got me on the right track, looks like it actually uses . and [] together:

{{Source.ContributingEvents.[1].[2]}}

and since .[0] are the column names, I needed to start at .[1] to get the data, but it works as expected.

Great! Thanks for sharing the correct info 👍
