Websphere Node Name tag to be available for Custom Payload

After configuring the offline event for any websphere entity in our environment, we did receive an email alert on websphere offline event. But it doesn't give any detail on which node the websphere went offline. I've attached a few pics for your reference. Basically the server under example which has 5 instances of websphere running on it. Example CuramNode01, CuramNode02, CuramNode03, CuramNode04, CuramNode05. A feature request for that custom payload to add the nodename would be great for us to filter out any email alerts coming for any particular node.

    Hi All, As per the discussion had with @Guest, customer want to address is not only for Offline Events, but that the custom Payload is available in general.

    Therefore, this will be planned for 1H 2026, taking into account its priority relative to other features.

    Hi @Guest

    Currently an email alert generated from an 'Offline Event' for WebSphere contains details such as the Node Name and Host name. It also contains a link to the WebSphere entity that triggered the same which in turn leads to the WebSphere dashboard containing the Node name and other details. Please find the sample screenshots below, does this address the details requested for in the alert.

    Could you please review this and let us know if it meets the customer’s requirements?
