Description section of Metric event that gets pulled into Problem Card

The Description section of a metric event creates a meaningful event message in a Problem Card but how can we pull an additional event fields into the description. For example, if we had a field from a log called "TotalFailures.hostname" how can we specify that in the description so it gets pulled into the Problem card. Thanks.

Hi @saldrich ,
It depends on how you create the metric. You specified that you have a field called TotalFailures.hostname by which I assume you have processed the log and created this attribute.
You just have to add that as dimension when creating metric from the log. If you already have that attribute, you get that in this dropdown
Reference:

Then while creating metric event you can use that dimension as {dims:TotalFailures.hostname}
