 How To Alter Parameters In Payload Templates/Help With Guest File Utilisation Alert Emails

Hi,

I'm looking to set up an email notification based on the "One or more virtual machine guest file systems are running out of disk space". I've set up the Notification, Payload Template and Outbound Plugin and I'm able to receive the alert fine. However the information in the email isn't easily read. I've stripped out the information not relevant to me and I'm left with this:

Server : 

 
 
Virtual Machine Name : 
Object Type : 
Parent Host : 
Parent Cluster : 
Parent Folder : 
 

Current State : 

Symptoms:

Recommendations: 
 
Alert Creation : 

 

The "${Symptoms} parameter however displays this information which is what I'd like to change:

Symptom Name Object Name Object ID Metric Message Info
Guest file system space usage at critical level MYSRV1 4bd07cba-349fd-234r98sdf-3rdsfo guestfilesystem:C:\|percentage 95.349 > 95.0

 

This isn't as easily read as I'd want. Namely I'd like to remove the "Object ID" and change "guestfilesystem:C:\|percentage". Is there any way to do this? Or, is there any way to simply display: Machine name, the drive that's full, and the percentage full?
