Customize emails for monitoring alert

Log in to the Abiquo API Server as an administrator

In the config folder, if there is no mail folder, create a mail folder and set the owner as the tomcat user

In the mail folder, create the following files

1. Email file

   monitoringAlertTemplate.mustache

   <p>You are receiving this email because the alert <strong>{{name}}</strong> has been <strong>{{state}}</strong> at {{alertDate}}.</p> <h4>Alert description</h4> <p>{{description}}</p> <h4>Notified alarms</h4> <ul> {{#alarms}} <li><em>{{alarmName}}</em>: {{alarmDescription}} - <em>{{entityType}}<em>: {{entityName}}</li> {{/alarms}} </ul> <p>For further details, go to the {{{portalname}}} at: {{{portaladdress}}}</p>

2. Properties file

   monitoringAlert_en_US.properties

   subject=Alert {0} has been {1} at {2} portalname=Abiquo console portaladdress={0}

    If you change the subject property, you must restart the Tomcat server to apply your changes

   1. The variable "{1}" represents the state of the alert as "activated" or "deactivated" 

   2. The variable "{2}" represents the timestamp of when the alert changed state

   3. In the properties file you can only set the subject, portalname and portaladdress.

Optionally add custom variables and content

1. In the email body, to add a custom variable, use double curly braces (also called double mustaches). For example

2. Then in your properties file, set a value for your custom variable

    To return unescaped HTML as part of a template property, use the triple mustache, which is "{{{" and "}}}".
   The Mustache templating software that adds the property values will escape HTML variables in double mustaches by default.

If your users have a language other than English, rename the file to change the language code to the user language 

1. For example, for "Spanish - Spain" change the en_US to es_ES

2. The user language is the UI language when you create the user

Change the owner of the files to the tomcat user
