9 Click Actions > Close to close the Configuration File Editor.
Configure General Settings for Email Alert Notifications
You can configure the subject for generic email messages, the email address from which alert notification email
messages are sent, and the number of minutes that vCenter Operations Manager waits before checking the
emailFilter.xml file for changes. These settings apply to all email alert notification messages.
You configure general settings for email alert notifications in the emailFilter.xml file, which is located in the
vcenter-ops
\user\plugins\outbound\filter_alertplugin\conf directory.
If you are using the vCenter Operations Manager vApp, edit the emailFilter.xml file on the second virtual
machine.
For vCenter Operations Manager Standalone, you can edit emailFilter.xml directly or you can use the
Configuration File editor. This procedure describes how to use the Configuration File editor.
For the vCenter Operations Manager vApp, you must edit emailFilter.xml directly. You cannot use the
Configuration File editor with the vCenter Operations Manager vApp. For descriptions of the XML elements
in emailFilter.xml, see “emailFilter.xml File,” on page 82.
Procedure
1 To start the Configuration File editor, use any standard Windows method to run the file
FilterPluginConfEditor.jar.
FilterPluginConfEditor.jar is located in the
vcenter-
ops
\user\plugins\outbound\filter_alertplugin\conf directory.
2 In the Subject text box, type the subject line to use for generic messages.
If vCenter Operations Manager cannot find a valid email template to use to send a particular alert message,
it sends a generic message to the defined recipient.
3 In the Email sender text box, type the email address from which to send alert notification email messages.
4 In the File reload time (minutes) text box, type the number of minutes that
vCenter Operations Manager waits before checking the emailFilter.xml file for changes.
The default is 30 minutes.
5 Select Actions > Save to save your changes to the currently open file, or select Actions > Save As to save
your changes to a different file.
To have your changes affect the behavior of the email filter plug-in, you must save your changes in
emailFilter.xml.
6 Select Actions > Close to close the Configuration File editor.
