Hi, two clarifications: Hosted engine is sending those emails using built-in Python SMTP client that talks directly yo the SMTP server specified during install time. We default to localhost, but you might have changed it.

notify.state_transition : maintenance|start|stop|migrate|up|down, type : broker

The value here is a regular expression that is matched against the state transition string in the email. Best regards Martin Sivak On Wed, Aug 29, 2018 at 10:34 PM, Douglas Duckworth <dod2014@med.cornell.edu> wrote:

Thanks for sharing

I may want to do that

Though first I want to understand how the emails are arriving.

I stooped ovirt-engine-notifier.service and postfix.service on all hosts and the hosted engine. So how are the email being delivered? They are not running senmail so I don't understand what daemon's sending these messages.

Thanks,

Hi, you can change the list of status you want to be notified about with hosted-engine --set-shared-config notify.state_transition The default is:

[root@hehost01 ~]# hosted-engine --get-shared-config notify.state_transition --type=broker

notify.state_transition : maintenance|start|stop|migrate|up|down, type : broker

I agree however we are in testing phase so I make changes a lot. Therefore alerts are not presently needed.

So how to I turn them off?

These steps do not work on hosted engine:

me@ovirt-engine[~]$ sudo systemctl stop postfix.service me@ovirt-engine[~]$ sudo systemctl stop ovirt-engine-notifier.service me@ovirt-engine[~]$ sudo systemctl status ovirt-engine-notifier.service ● ovirt-engine-notifier.service - oVirt Engine Notifier Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ovirt-engine-notifier.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Wed 2018-08-29 13:41:55 EDT; 3s ago Process: 1814 ExecStart=/usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine-notifier/ovirt-engine-notifier.py --redirect-output --systemd=notify $EXTRA_ARGS start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1814 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

I still get an email every time I put a host in maint mode for example.

Those alerts are also coming from hosted-engine that keeps ovirt manager running.

I would rather have a filter in my email client for them than disabling all of the alerting stuff

Hi

Can someone please help? I keep getting ovirt alerts via email despite turning off postix and ovirt-engine-notifier.service

Hi

How do I turn off hosted engine alerts? We are in a testing phase so these are not needed. I have disabled postfix on all hosts as well as stopped the ovirt notification daemon on the hosted engine. I kept it running while putting /dev/null in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine-notifier/ovirt-engine-notifier.conf for mail server. Yet I still get alerts for every thing done such as putting hosts in maintenance mode. Very confusing.
