<Templates> Element
The first part of the emailFilter.xml file is a <Templates> element, which contains a series of <Template>
elements. Each element specifies the template file to use for alert email messages of a particular type,
subtype, and status. You can use the following types of template files.
Default templates
Default template files, which are included with
vCenter Operations Manager, are designed to use with an alert type,
subtype, and status if a custom file is not specified for the recipient.
emailFilter.xml includes a <template> element for each default template. Do
not change these elements. To change the messages sent to all users for a
particular alert type, modify the default message template.
Custom templates
Custom template files are unique to your installation and are designed for
particular users. The <template> element for a custom template includes a
<sendTo> attribute that specifies the recipient.
The following sample element is a default template.
<Template alert_type="ADMINISTRATIVE" alert_subtype="ENVIRONMENT" status="NEW">
New-Administrative-Environment.html</Template>
The following sample element is a custom template.
<Template sendTo="[e-mail]" alert_type="ADMINISTRATIVE" alert_subtype="ENVIRONMENT"
status="NEW">abc-New-Administrative-Environment.html</Template>
