My use case is that I have log data with a message and exception fields, and I am sending slack alerts when the query finds log level >= ERROR.
However the exception field is too big to put into slack messages, it means the message gets chunked, which then ruins the formatting.
I would like to truncate it to the first N characters so at least I get some indication in the alert.
There is no way to do this in Mustache templates (apparently).
Is there any way to transform the result data prior to feeding it into the alert template?
Either in the trigger script, or in the query itself?
Thanks
