Hi Splunkers,

Is it possible to add an External URL as Hyperlink in the message body of an alert?
I know we can place directly URL link like below as shown.
to:example@gmail.com
subject:$$$
Message: You can access https://example2example.com to view your current permission.

but i would like to see something like this:
Expected output:
Message: You can access "Proxy" to view your current permission.

Thanks

@dadepu @RalfSeewaldCT you can check out Sendresults Splunk App from Splunkbase by Discovered Intelligence to format Tabular results as HTML for email.

Hi dadepu,

great question. I kind of have the same challange and I'm wodering if you could found a solution for it.
I tried out some things like putting in html code like Proxy, with the result that exactly this code is shown in the email.

Would be great to hear your solution. 🙂

Best regards,
Ralf
