Cannot change notification settings for hosted engine in ovirt 4.0
I cannot seem to find any information on how to change the notification settings, in particular the email adresses to which to send notifications and the from address for the notifications. I have tried adding a file on the engine itself in /etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d/ and setting MAIL_FROM. I then restarted the ovirt-engine service, but notices are still using the old configuration. I even tried restarting the VM, but that did not have any effect. I have also tried editing /var/lib/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/broker.conf however when I restart the ovirt-ha-broker service, the file is overwritten. I have found documentation about the shared configuration storage ( http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/hosted-engine-confi...), however it is not clear to me where I would edit existing data in the shared storage. Do I just untar the files, edit, then "retar" to the shared storage? Do I need to set maintenance mode before editing? Should I shutdown the engine? After I edit the files, do I just restart the ovirt-ha-broker service or do I need to do something else? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - George Chlipala
Hi George, unfortunately this was overlooked when the configuration file was moved to the shared storage. We are currently working on a solution (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1301681) There is a workaround if you are using the default configuration (smtp set to localhost). You can add a forwarding rule to the /etc/aliases file in the form "root: my@emails.com" and execute newaliases (to update the configuration). See for example https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/10654/how-to-use-etcaliases-file-a... Unfortunately, we do not have any workaround for non-local SMTP or notification filtering settings.

Unfortunately, we do not have any workaround for non-local SMTP or notification filtering settings.
We have a workaround described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1301681#c16 It will replace the configuration file on the shared storage as needed. Please ensure you have a valid backup of the configuration volume before touching it.
