I thought using /usr/share/ovirt-engine was wrong, but I was going off of RedHat docs [1].  I didn't realize an alternative location existed.

Having just searched some more I found the oVirt docs [2] which I don't recall existing or mentioning the conf.d at the time I setup the notifier service.

Thanks,

Hi,

please never change anything in /usr/share/ovirt-engine, because these file
will always be overwritten on RPM upgrades.

To change MAIL_SERVER for ovirt-engine-notifier please create config file
(for example 99-user.conf) under /etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d
and put you customizations here, for example:

  MAIL_SERVER=my-mail-server.com

This way your changes survive upgrades.

Let me know if you have any other issues with it.

Thanks

Martin Perina
