Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/issues/1090

Many services provide their webhook output in JSON, which is typically one long line. It would be cool if healthchecks would run this output through jq for display in the web event and for the email notification. The Download Original button could remain to view the single-line output as originally sent. Currently, I often have to paste the events into a terminal to view with jq because it's just so hard to read.

Hi everyone 👋,
I’ve looked into this issue and I believe I can help address it on the backend side.
I have experience working with Django, REST APIs, and reliability / monitoring systems, and would be glad to put that to use here.
Could someone assign me this issue or grant me contributor access so I can begin working on a fix?

I’m happy to share my approach or design before starting.
Thanks!
