Description
### Enhancement Proposal
The NRPE alerts that make it to Alertmanager through cos-proxy do not have the output of the nrpe check commands. This information can be useful in deciding if an alert is actionable or not.
After relating cos-proxy to loki we are now getting the nrpe-exporter logs in loki which have the output of the nrpe check commands.
Being able to craft alerts from the loki log info would be really useful.
Attached are the loki logs as well as an excerpt of the CRITICAL alerts from the nrpe-exporter journal.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached Loki JSON, nrpe-exporter log, and journal excerpt, then trace how NRPE alerts reach Alertmanager through cos-proxy. Determine whether the command output can be incorporated from Loki log information, and verify that the resulting alerts expose useful output for deciding whether they are actionable.
