Elastalert: AttributeError: '_thread._local' object has no attribute 'alerts_sent'

[gcnote]

run elastalert-test-rule with python 3.6.0 and python 3.6.9 have same problem,
which version of python should use?

ERROR:root:Traceback (most recent call last):

Seeing the same issue running elastalert-test-rule with the --alert flag enabled (when alerts are actually sent out) - did you find a fix for this @gcnote ?

+1, seeing the same issue for elastalert-test-rule
Python 3.5.2

Elastalert 0.2.1

This fix discussed in #2556 works for me.

        self.replace_dots_in_field_names = self.conf.get('replace_dots_in_field_names', False)
        self.thread_data.num_hits = 0
        self.thread_data.num_dupes = 0
        self.thread_data.alerts_sent = 0  #add
        self.scheduler = BackgroundScheduler()

Thanks!! @gcnote

This is still a issue in the latest release.

Can we get a proper fix instead of manually adding in the variable?

Still seeing this with latest elastalert.
