Try to add this. It will show in the Message field.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Just making sure I have this right:

1) I have a CPU Usage sensor with a threshold trigger set to: if CPU is over 80% for 15 seconds send notification. 2) The notification I created is called "CPUOver80", it is set to run an .exe (ps script). The output is something like: "Google Chrome (12%), Google Chrome (0%), Google Chrome (0%)".

If I were to use your suggestions the output will be:

<prtg>
   <text>Google Chrome (12%), Google Chrome (0%), Google Chrome (0%)</text>
</prtg>

This will be sent inside the email sent by the custom notification "CPUOver80"?

Thanks!

The script I'm running with "CPUOver80" notification:
