3.8. Event Notifications

3.8.1. Configuring Event Notifications in the Administration Portal

The Red Hat Virtualization Manager can notify designated users via email when specific events occur in the environment that the Red Hat Virtualization Manager manages. To use this functionality, you must set up a mail transfer agent to deliver messages. Only email notifications can be configured through the Administration Portal. SNMP traps must be configured on the Manager machine.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that you have access to an email server that can accept automated messages from Manager and deliver them to a distribution list.
  2. Click Administration Users and select a user.
  3. Click the user’s User Name to go to the details page.
  4. In the Event Notifier tab, click Manage Events.
  5. Use the Expand All button or the subject-specific expansion buttons to view the events.
  6. Select the appropriate check boxes.

  7. Enter an email address in the Mail Recipient field.

    Note

    The email address can be a text message email address (for example, 1234567890@carrierdomainname.com) or an email group address that includes email addresses and text message email addresses.

  8. Click OK.

  9. On the Manager machine, copy ovirt-engine-notifier.conf to a new file called 90-email-notify.conf: 

    # cp /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine-notifier/ovirt-engine-notifier.conf /etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d/90-email-notify.conf
  10. Edit 90-email-notify.conf, deleting everything except the EMAIL Notifications section.

  11. Enter the correct email variables, as in the example below. This file overrides the values in the original ovirt-engine-notifier.conf file. 

    #---------------------#
# EMAIL Notifications #
#---------------------#

# The SMTP mail server address. Required.
MAIL_SERVER=myemailserver.example.com

# The SMTP port (usually 25 for plain SMTP, 465 for SMTP with SSL, 587 for SMTP with TLS)
MAIL_PORT=25

# Required if SSL or TLS enabled to authenticate the user. Used also to specify 'from' user address if mail server
# supports, when MAIL_FROM is not set. Address is in RFC822 format
MAIL_USER=

# Required to authenticate the user if mail server requires authentication or if SSL or TLS is enabled
SENSITIVE_KEYS="${SENSITIVE_KEYS},MAIL_PASSWORD"
MAIL_PASSWORD=

# Indicates type of encryption (none, ssl or tls) should be used to communicate with mail server.
MAIL_SMTP_ENCRYPTION=none

# If set to true, sends a message in HTML format.
HTML_MESSAGE_FORMAT=false

# Specifies 'from' address on sent mail in RFC822 format, if supported by mail server.
MAIL_FROM=rhevm2017@example.com

# Specifies 'reply-to' address on sent mail in RFC822 format.
MAIL_REPLY_TO=

# Interval to send smtp messages per # of IDLE_INTERVAL
MAIL_SEND_INTERVAL=1

# Amount of times to attempt sending an email before failing.
MAIL_RETRIES=4
    Note

    See /etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d/README for more options.

  12. Enable and restart the ovirt-engine-notifier service to activate the changes you have made: 

    # systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl enable ovirt-engine-notifier.service
# systemctl restart ovirt-engine-notifier.service

The specified user now receives emails based on events in the Red Hat Virtualization environment. The selected events are displayed on the Event Notifier tab for that user.

3.8.2. Canceling Event Notifications in the Administration Portal

A user has configured some unnecessary email notifications and wants them canceled.

Procedure

  1. Click Administration Users.
  2. Click the user’s User Name. This opens the details view.
  3. Click the Event Notifier tab to list events for which the user receives email notifications.
  4. Click Manage Events.
  5. Use the Expand All button, or the subject-specific expansion buttons, to view the events.
  6. Clear the appropriate check boxes to remove notification for that event.
  7. Click OK.

3.8.3. Parameters for Event Notifications in ovirt-engine-notifier.conf

The event notifier configuration file can be found in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine-notifier/ovirt-engine-notifier.conf.

3.8.4. Configuring the Red Hat Virtualization Manager to Send SNMP Traps

Configure your Red Hat Virtualization Manager to send Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps to one or more external SNMP managers. SNMP traps contain system event information; they are used to monitor your Red Hat Virtualization environment. The number and type of traps sent to the SNMP manager can be defined within the Red Hat Virtualization Manager.

Red Hat Virtualization supports SNMP version 2 and version 3. SNMP version 3 supports the following security levels:

NoAuthNoPriv
SNMP traps are sent without any authorization or privacy.
AuthNoPriv
SNMP traps are sent with password authorization but no privacy.
AuthPriv
SNMP traps are sent with password authorization and privacy.

Prerequisites

  • One or more external SNMP managers are configured to receive traps.
  • The IP addresses or fully qualified domain names of machines that will act as SNMP managers. Optionally, determine the port through which Manager receives trap notifications. The default is UDP port 162.
  • The SNMP community (SNMP version 2 only). Multiple SNMP managers can belong to a single community. Management systems and agents can communicate only if they are within the same community. The default community is public.
  • The trap object identifier for alerts. The Red Hat Virtualization Manager provides a default OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.2312.13.1.1. All trap types are sent, appended with event information, to the SNMP manager when this OID is defined. Note that changing the default trap prevents generated traps from complying with the Manager’s management information base.
  • An SNMP username, for SNMP version 3, security levels 1, 2, and 3.
  • An SNMP passphrase, for SNMP version 3, security levels 2 and 3.
  • An SNMP private passphrase, for SNMP version 3, security level 3.
Note

The Red Hat Virtualization Manager provides management information bases at /usr/share/doc/ovirt-engine/mibs/OVIRT-MIB.txt and /usr/share/doc/ovirt-engine/mibs/REDHAT-MIB.txt. Load the MIBs in your SNMP manager before proceeding.

Default SNMP configuration values exist on the Manager in the events notification daemon configuration file /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine-notifier/ovirt-engine-notifier.conf. The values outlined in the following procedure are based on the default or example values provided in this file. Do not edit this file directly, because system changes, such as upgrades, might remove any changes you make to this file. Instead, copy this file to /etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d/<integer>-snmp.conf, where <integer> is a number indicating the priority with which the file should run.

Procedure

  1. On the Manager, create the SNMP configuration file with the file name <integer>-snmp.conf, where <integer> is an integer that indicates the order in which files are processed. For example: 

    # vi /etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d/20-snmp.conf
    Tip

    Copy the default SNMP settings from the events notification daemon configuration file /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine-notifier/ovirt-engine-notifier.conf. This file includes inline comments for all settings.

  2. Specify the SNMP manager(s), the SNMP community (SNMP version 2 only), and the OID in the format in this example: 

    SNMP_MANAGERS="manager1.example.com manager2.example.com:162"
SNMP_COMMUNITY=public
SNMP_OID=1.3.6.1.4.1.2312.13.1.1

  3. Define whether to use SNMP version 2 (default) or 3: 

    SNMP_VERSION=3

  4. Specify a value for SNMP_ENGINE_ID. For example: 

    SNMP_ENGINE_ID="80:00:00:00:01:02:05:05"

  5. With SNMP version 3, specify the security level for SNMP traps:

    Security level 1, NoAuthNoPriv traps: 

    SNMP_USERNAME=NoAuthNoPriv
SNMP_SECURITY_LEVEL=1

    Security level 2, AuthNoPriv traps, as user ovirtengine, with SNMP Auth passphrase authpass. 

    SNMP_USERNAME=ovirtengine
SNMP_AUTH_PROTOCOL=MD5
SNMP_AUTH_PASSPHRASE=authpass
SNMP_SECURITY_LEVEL=2

    Security level 3, AuthPriv traps, as user ovirtengine with SNMP Auth passphrase authpass and SNMP Priv passphrase privpass. For example: 

    SNMP_USERNAME=ovirtengine
SNMP_AUTH_PROTOCOL=MD5
SNMP_AUTH_PASSPHRASE=authpass
SNMP_PRIVACY_PROTOCOL=AES128
SNMP_PRIVACY_PASSPHRASE=privpass
SNMP_SECURITY_LEVEL=3

  6. Define which events to send to the SNMP manager:

    Example 3.16. Event examples

    Send all events to the default SNMP profile: 

    FILTER="include:*(snmp:) ${FILTER}"

    Send all events with the severity ERROR or ALERT to the default SNMP profile: 

    FILTER="include:*:ERROR(snmp:) ${FILTER}"
    FILTER="include:*:ALERT(snmp:) ${FILTER}"

    Send events for VDC_START to the specified email address: 

    FILTER="include:VDC_START(snmp:mail@example.com) ${FILTER}"

    Send events for everything but VDC_START to the default SNMP profile: 

    FILTER="exclude:VDC_START include:*(snmp:) ${FILTER}"

    This the default filter defined in ovirt-engine-notifier.conf; if you do not disable this filter or apply overriding filters, no notifications will be sent: 

    FILTER="exclude:*"

    VDC_START is an example of the audit log messages available. A full list of audit log messages can be found in /usr/share/doc/ovirt-engine/AuditLogMessages.properties. Alternatively, filter results within your SNMP manager.

  7. Save the file.

  8. Start the ovirt-engine-notifier service, and ensure that this service starts on boot: 

    # systemctl start ovirt-engine-notifier.service
# systemctl enable ovirt-engine-notifier.service

Check your SNMP manager to ensure that traps are being received.

Note

SNMP_MANAGERS, MAIL_SERVER, or both must be properly defined in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine-notifier/ovirt-engine-notifier.conf or in an override file in order for the notifier service to run.

Sample SNMP configuration file

This sample configuration file is based on settings in ovirt-engine-notifier.conf. A dedicated SNMP configuration file, such as this one, overrides the settings in ovirt-engine-notifier.conf.

Tip

Copy the default SNMP settings from the events notification daemon configuration file /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine-notifier/ovirt-engine-notifier.conf to /etc/ovirt-engine/notifier/notifier.conf.d/<_integer_>-snmp.conf, where <_integer_> is a number indicating the priority with which the file should run. This file includes inline comments for all settings.
