Description

As per the documentation (https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/observing-your-data/alerting/monitors/#available-variables), one can access ctx.monitor.name, ctx.monitor.type, ctx.monitor.enabled, ctx.monitor.enabled_time, ctx.monitor.schedule, ctx.monitor.inputs, triggers and ctx.monitor.last_update_time in an alert message. I used {{ctx.monitor}} to see what can I use from it, but after sending it in an email, I only got this information:

{_id=, _version=1, name=mymonitor, enabled=true}
