The alert message is like the following:

```

It’s too much for an alert, is there any way to customize the alert message?

Hello @Luke03011,  
Unfortunately at this time there isn’t a way to remove parameters from alerts. Our alert message platform was just released a few patch releases ago, so we are still looking for ways to improve it. I will make sure the team knows of this feature request.
