Alert template fields for failed/aborted reload tasks

List of template fields available in Butler’s reload failed/aborted alert messages.

Template fields

Butler uses the Handlebars library for templating work.

Handlebars offers a lot of useful features (nested template fields, evaluation context, template comments) and it’s recommended that you browse through at least the language features section of their getting started guide to get a feeling for what’s possible.

If a template field is used for an alert type where that field is not supported, the field will simply be blank. No errors will occur.

The following template fields are available in alert messages.

Note that some fields are usually (always?) empty, for example the script log for stopped messages.
This is simply how Sense works - the template fields just forward the information retrieved from the Sense APIs.
