**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):
v.2.16.0
**Describe the issue** :
I want to thank everyone for helping me with a newbie.
I have most things working as expected. My last challenge is getting the Monitoring ID and the Alert ID sent with the alert message so I can acknowledge them.
I’m getting the correct alerts based on my search and processing them on our backend server.
However, the alerts need to be acknowledged; I have a call to the API using the monitor name to get the monitor id and another call to search for active alerts. Finally, a third call sends the acknowledgment to the API.
Ideally, I would like to get them both dynamically in the alert message so I can acknowledge as part of my process.
I have hard-coded the monitor ID for now, as that should not change.
Looking at this document [Triggers - OpenSearch Documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/observing-your-data/alerting/triggers/)
I see that there is a ctx.alert.id, but that is only for query-level monitors.
There is ctx.alerts for document-level monitors, that shows ctx.alerts.0.finding\_ids and ctx.alerts.0.related\_doc\_ids. I don’t see an ctx.alerts.0.id
My message so far
```auto
{
"alerts": {
"triggerId": "{{ctx.trigger.id}}",
"triggerName": "{{ctx.trigger. name}}",
"lastUpdate": "{{ctx.last_update_time}}",

},
}{{^-last}}, {{/-last}}

]}
}
```
Thanks

Are you using a query, bucket or document monitor?

Thank you for your reply. I used per-document monitoring, but due to this issue and some others, I moved over to per-query monitoring, which solved my problems.
