APM SMTP Alert Configuration.

[Legacy User]

Hi Experts,

 

I have configured mail alert for one the customer in CA APM 10.7. We are getting the mail as expected, whenever alert changes its state.   

In that mail Its give the link of that alert & metric,but in that link the the hostname of APM server is coming a localhost

ex:- http:localhost:8080<metric name>.

 

I bit confused , from where we change that hostname to real name of that server ?

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi Amit,

 

https://docops.ca.com/ca-apm/10-5/en/administrating/configure-webview/create-and-configure-notification-actions#CreateandConfigureNotificationActions-DefineaCommonSMTPEmailNotificationTemplate

Certain dynamic alert parameters, for example, ${ALERT_NAME} and ${PROBLEM_LIST}, let you add hypertext links to contextual data within WebView. For plain text emails, the properties (${URL_Alert_Info} and ${URL_Detail_List}) supply these same links.
Note: This action requires the configuration of the introscope.webview.default.url property that is located in the IntroscopeEnterpriseManager.properties file. This property defines the default URL for embedded hyperlinks that point to alerts and metrics in WebView. After you save your changes, you must restart the Enterprise Manager for any changes to take effect.

Basically the steps are:

a) Open IntroscopeEnterpriseManager.properties file
b) Update the following property to include the hostname instead of localhost, eg:

#######################
# WebView Configuration
#
# ================
################################################
# Webview base url used to build links for email
# introscope.webview.default.url=http://localhost:8080

introscope.webview.default.url=http://MYHOSTNAME:8080

c) Restart the EM for the changes to take effect
d) Test the e-mail notification. Eg:

Alert Name: Send eMail for Testing_EM_Host
Time Triggered: 04/09/18 17:14:00 CEST
Alert Status: Danger

Problem Details:
SuperDomain|HostC|Agent|Test_Agent123|Backends|DummyData:Average Response Time (ms) = 789
SuperDomain|HostB|Agent|Test_Agent22|Backends|DummyData:Average Response Time (ms) = 456
