We have been fighting this battle for a while now... Here was my suggestion:
Here is an overview of the issue, possible fix, and comments from users:
The enhancement request for “provide the ability to customize emails sent from notifications” doesn’t correspond with the problem with 2023.1. The emails sent by 10.8 included useful information without any customization on our part. We expected to have such basic functionality working in the new version. We imagine “customization of emails” to include things like setting letterheads, fonts, etc. In other words a complicated request that isn’t high priority. That’s not needed by us if the functionality from 10.8 could be revived.

The 10.8.1 Monitor notifications included:
Level | Name | Type | Counter | Value | Rule | Validation Value | Last Updated | Notes |
Info | monitor.server.ca | SYSTEM | Disk % Idle ( E ) | 1.00 | < | 10 | Jun 27 2023 23:01:19 | Disk is busy |

The following table is included in the email whereby NAME field references the Metric Name, only it says NA but as seen in the screenshot below it should state Request Response Time Max (s). STATUS field indicates the alert threshold, which was Warning, however, the ALERT RULE and ALERT VALUE should be listed as AVG >= and 3 s respectively.
ID | NAME | STATUS | URL |
26 | NA | Warning | LINK |
At a minimum the new notification table with the existing information available (ID is useless and could be dropped) should be:
ID | COLLECTION NAME | METRIC NAME | STATUS | ALERT RULE | ALERT VALUE | URL |
26 | SERVERNAME: ArcGIS Server | Request Response Time Max (s) | Warning | AVG >= | 3 s | LINK |
As you can see, the notification email collects the information from the collection metrics whereby alerting is set to on:
