Add flag to disable Level field in message

[101100]

Would you accept a pull request to add a flag to disable the Level field in the message? I'm thinking of a bool flag just before ExcludePropertyInformation that, if set, will skip this line:

Seq.App.Slack/src/Seq.App.Slack/SlackReactor.cs

Line 133 in b2fea80

special.Fields.Add(new SlackMessageAttachmentField("Level", evt.Data.Level.ToString(), @short: true));

Hi Jason,

Just to understand your scenario better - why do you want to exclude Level?

Best regards,
Nick

We are just trying to reduce the size of messages in our Slack channel. The channel only gets errors, so the level information is redundant and since it is its own field, it takes up a fair bit of space. The reason we noticed this is that we recently started using "Included properties" to trim the messages down (really nice, BTW), and this one last bit of information that we don't need is now more obvious.

Cool, thanks for the feedback! Will give this some thought 👍

I'm willing to do the P/R. I just like to ask before doing the work.

Thanks! I'm just wondering whether there's a more compact way for us to include the information, which would cut down noise in the message for everybody, and avoid the need for a switch.

Currently the level influences message coloring, but that might not quite be enough for everyone - any thoughts? We do use coloring only in the messages generated from alerts, so there's some precedent for just leaving it out....
