Include more actionable data in Alert emails
Currently the alert emails just link to the profiler page with nothing selected. This makes it guess work if there are multiple items in the profiler to examine. If you are unable to check the profiler within 24 hours of the email, no data could exist specifically for the alert email.
It would be much more actionable if the email alerts mentioned the collection that was being queried, the appName that triggered the query, and a direct link to the query in the profiler showing complete details of the query that triggered the alert.
This would make triage near instant and allow immediate action to be taken directly from the email without sorting through any potential noise in the profiler.

We have configured several alerts and are having them emailed to us. The subject line of the email alert is something like "[External]Alert - <CLUSTER NAME> - 2021-04-08T12:26Z". We would like the subject line to show what exactly is the alert for - for example - if the alert is for "System Memory: Available has gone below 3.2 GB", we would like the subject to include this information. All the email alerts have the same subject line except for the change in time. Please consider this request. Thank you.
