Description

I am creating a basic deadman check alert. When I create the alert it defaults to a name of "Name this check" I modify the name after creating the alert. But when the alert sends status updates to _monitoring it is still using "Name this check" as the check_name.

![Alert name](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/46907372/121070221-706dc600-c79c-11eb-8630-7773ce2f3fdb.PNG)

Restarted influx, same thing...

Running

Research direction

Reproduce the alert workflow described in the issue: create a deadman check, rename it, and inspect the resulting check_name in the _monitoring bucket. Trace the alert name update and status-update path, using Influx CLI 2.0.4 as the reported baseline. Done means renamed alerts write the new name instead of "Name this check".
