Delete an Email Template Definition
If you do not need an email template definition, you can delete it.
You configure email template definitions 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 for descriptions of the XML elements in
emailFilter.xml.
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.

emailFilter.xml File
emailFilter.xml is an XML file that defines the filtering rules and template files to use for email alert
notifications. The file also contains general settings that apply to all email alert notifications.
NOTE Do not edit emailFilter.xml directly unless you are familiar with XML structure and syntax. A
formatting mistake might prevent email alert notifications from working. If you edit emailFilter.xml directly,
make a backup copy of the file before you change it.
