How to parse FKM's status and triggerDetails Columns

There are two ways you can achieve this:

For example, you have configured an FKM key, either FAIL or WARNING, to match a string of words, i.e. “The quick brown fox”, but wish to display only the words “quick brown” in the metrics view. In this case, you will have to use the Tags option, either via the FKM Key level > Tags option, or via the FKM > Advanced tab > Tags.
