I just updated Joomla and admintools to the latest version.
Post the update, the security exception email notifications literally shows [sitename], [reason], and [IP], instead of the actual variable.
The email notifications were working fine before the recent updates.
How do i get the variables to show again?

More details on the issue. The variables work fine for all notifications, except one:
For user login failure, i had chosen to "Do not log these reasons", but I still chose to receive email notifications of these login failure. Now, these email notifications only show [sitename], etc and not the actual underlying data.
The reason i put login failure in the "do not log these reasons", is that I wanted to be notified, and NOT block the user after x number of failures. Is there any other way to log this?

You are right. If you disable logging for a security exception reason but you do set up emails to be sent then the variable replacement does not take place. This seems to have been the case since one of the early 2.x versions of Admin Tools when these features were added. This will be fixed in the next release.
