Hi,

When we install the vm engine, in the configuration process we are asked to give an smtp server and email addresses for notification but then nothing. 
When we looked to the event notification configuration we found this file ovirt-engine-notifier.conf and we thought that the first configuration was there but since the notification service was disabled notifications were not working, but No, there was no configuration on that file we had to modify it and now notifications are working. 
The question is : is the first smtp configuration used ? If yes, when? Can we test it ? And if we want to modify it, where the configuration is stored ?

We have two distinct things here:
- smtp configuration for ovirt-ha-agent
- smtp configuration for ovirt-engine-notifier

The first one is going to report just about the local status of the engine VM monitored by ovirt-ha-agent on the different involved hosts; its configuration is saved on the hosted-engine storage domain and you can edit it with 'hosted-engine --set-shared-config ...'.
ovirt-engine-notifier instead could cover different events on different entities but it relies on a working engine that's why we have a distinct mechanism just to cover the status of the engine VM.
