How to include a backslash symbol before a data field in a threshold event text?

Because the “\” is an escape character, for example,  \n is for new line, \t is for tab ..etc.

If you select a data field, it has the format of @data@. 

So simply adding a backslash in front of the data field will not work because "\@" is an invalid settings.

To resolve this:

Option 1: use double backslash “\\”

For example:

\\@data.field@

Option 2: add a space after the back slash “\ ” before the data field.

For example:

\ @data.field@@

Here is a short vidoe, and hope this helps.
