Change the subject line of vROPs 6.3 email

Hi All,

The environment that I'm currently working in has a classification system for emails. It basically means that all emails must have [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] in the subject line of the email or it is dropped.

Is there a way to edit the email subject lines in vRealize Operation 6.3 alerts and notifications to append [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]?

I have seen an earlier post (vROPS 6 customizing email alerting) which doesn't answer the question, and I have read the KB (Using custom email templates in VMware vRealize Operations Manager 6.x (2125759) | VMware KB) is a clunky method about building custom templates but with much less granularity and doesn't fit with what I want to do.

Thanks,

Unfortunately if you need to customize the email subject the KB article you read is the way to do it.  There's a document in this community that expands on that a bit and might be easier to follow.  vRops 6.x and Email Templates - KB2125759 in practice

I know this is overly complex and a lot of work just to change the subject.  I haven't touched my custom email templates since version 6.1, so I can confirm that any customizations will at least persist through upgrades.  Open a SR with VMware and make this a feature request.  I can assure you they've heard from me Smiley Happy
