  "text": "${latestEvent.summaryMessage} ${latestEvent.guid} ${latestEvent.eventTypeKey} Policy Name - ${policy.name} Policy ID - ${policy.id}  Policy Digest : ${policy.digest} ${policy.digestDurationInMins} ",
  "alert_type": "${topSeverity}",
  "priority": "${priority}",
  "aggregation_key": " ${policy.id} ",
  "tags": [
    "guid:${latestEvent.guid}",
    "eventid:${latestEvent.id}",
    "environment:${Environment}",
    "os:${OS}",
    "platform:${Platform}"
  ]
}
