Vrops 6.01 Email Notification template

[brettcarr1]

So firstly let me say I am very very impressed with the email notification setup in vrops 6.0 it's so much better than 5.x.

I have my 6.0 installation succesfully sending me e-mail notifications for some alerts however we need to make some format changes to the e-mail, in 5.8 we were able to do that by modifying a template file however in 6.0 I don't seem to be able to find templates that match what is actually being sent out, so can anybody point me at where the e-mail templates are now or give me some other information on how we can change the format of the e-mails (mainly this involves removing some of the fields and replacing some spaces with underscores so our ticket system will process the e-mails properly) We did ask VMware support but were given a link to an API which I don't seem to be able to get to work so if the API is the way we must go then if anybody can give me some step by step instructions on how to use something like curl to GET the email template, so that we can make the modifications and then PUT it back that would be great.

Thanks

Brett

I'm interested in customizing email templates too... anyone did this?

I have been searching for this since we implemented vROps.  If anyone can tell us how to do this, it would be most appreciated.

Did you check this location:

usr/lib/VMware-vcops/user/plugins/outbound/vcops-standard-email-plugin/conf/default_templates

The emailFilter.xml file drives the alert type to template mapping. Located in the conf dir.

These are the templates I believe for the standard e-mail plugin.

If you are going to edit, I suggest you copy and rename...

Let me know if this helps...

Cheers,
