Event Text

Event Text is a set of formatting patterns used to generate the human-readable form of several values in the notification event that is routed to an Output. Event Text is specific to a particular Event or Subtype.

Replaceable variables in the formatting string (beginning and ending with an ampersand) will be replaced with the value of the named field from the Event data in the output. Further, the values of replaceable fields can themselves be transformed to other values by Substitutions.

Only journal-based sources use these formatting strings; message queue-based sources package and send the message text as-is from the message queue.
