{Notice|Warning|Critical} Alert: $Message. Threshold of $threshold reached.

Text:

{Notice|Warning|Critical} Alert: $Message. Threshold of $threshold reached at $Timestamp.

How about:

{Notice|Warning|Critical} Alert: $Message. Started failing X time ago

Or if we can't get the time:

{Notice|Warning|Critical} Alert: $Message. Failed X checks in a row.
