Alerting

Why are we Missing stacktrace in alert?

For an alert that los to slack, i have this config:
to show the errors from the log in the channel

Message: $result.log$

I am missing the stacktrace, it seems that either only the first line is shown / message part of the error without the stacktrace
what could be the cause or resolution for this?

Thanks

We are facing a similar issue. Did you find a possible solution to this?

I'm not familiar with the Slack add-on so I won't help you much but it will probably help if you are a bit more precise.

For me it's not clear whether it's just the Slack action that behaves wrongly or if it's an issue of the search in the alert itself. If you create an alert with, let's say, an email action with the same search do you get the desired result?
