Event messages in alert notifications via email display question mark (?) instead of proper character if original log file encoding does not match JBoss ON server

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Problems with encoding;
  • We have a problem with the encoding of Alerts and Events;
  • When an alert template is applied to a message containing Russian characters (which are properly shown in the JBoss ON UI), they will be replaced in the received email with the ? characters;
