Feature Request - Require the field name being used in tickscripts

Scenario - Need a solution to dynamically get the field name, apart from the measurement name, in tickscripts.

Example - I'm setting up for number of cpus. The measurement name is system, but the field name is n_cpus. When I send an email, in case of the value crossing a threshold, and I cannot send n_cpus in the mail without hardcoding the name into the tickscript.

Problem - Sending an email saying System is alerting isn't very intuitive and doesn't point to the actual issue.

Request - Add a solution to get the field name, in addition to the field value, which we already get.

Start by tracing how Kapacitor exposes field values to TICKscripts and how alert emails receive those values. Define how the originating field name should be made available alongside the value, then verify that an email can identify the triggering field without hardcoding n_cpus.
