ovirt-event-notifier for e-mail notification

Hi, On oVirt 3.6.3.4-1, when selecting the 'Event notification' sub-tab on a user in the 'Users' tab, at the bottom this message is shown: Note: To receive email notifications, ensure that the mail server is configured and the ovirt-event-notifier service is running. I cannot find this service installed anywhere, though. Which package should contain this service? # systemctl status ovirt-event-notifier ovirt-event-notifier.service Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) # locate ovirt-event-notifier # # yum provides *ovirt-event-notifier Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile [...] No matches found Thanks.

This should have found it for you. Are you trying this on the engine machine?
# locate ovirt-event-notifier #
# yum provides *ovirt-event-notifier Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile [...] No matches found
It's packaged in ovirt-engine-tools . Best, -- Didi

Yes.

The package is indeed installed, but the service seems not. # rpm -qa | grep engine-tools ovirt-engine-tools-3.6.3.4-1.el7.centos.noarch This is CentOS 7.1.1503, FWIW.
Best,

Can you please try: systemctl list-unit-files | grep ovirt-engine
# rpm -qa | grep engine-tools ovirt-engine-tools-3.6.3.4-1.el7.centos.noarch
This is CentOS 7.1.1503, FWIW.
Why not 7.2? IIRC it should not matter, but you can try to upgrade. -- Didi

Ah, that was the problem. It is installed as ovirt-engine-notifier, not as ovirt-event-notifier. Maybe it was renamed from a previous version? If you wish, I can submit a bug so the text in the oVirt admin is renamed. Thanks.

OK :-) Only now I realized you wrote 'ovirt-event-notifier' :-)
Maybe it was renamed from a previous version? If you wish, I can submit a bug so the text in the oVirt admin is renamed.
Please do. Actually it was never named ovirt-event-notifier. AFAICT this string only ever existed in this message, probably some simple typo no-one ever noticed until you did now :-) It indeed was renamed in the past, though. It's previous name was 'engine-notifierd': https://gerrit.ovirt.org/14378 Thanks for the report!
Thanks.
