Description

ISSUE TYPE

Currently job_metadata is a string and makes it hard to pull information out to make the notification more readable. Partly because some of the jinja methods are blocked in the GUI for security reasons. Lastly some of the info is also available in host_status_counts, however this is limited to a single host.

SUMMARY

In order to create more readable notification e-mails, is it possible to add a dict with the same information as job_metadata, or have host_status_counts expanded to include all hosts?

Kind Regards,

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how job metadata is currently stored as a string and identify the code paths where notifications are generated. Consider modifying the data structure to include a dict version or expanding host status counts.
