Alert template not displaying information

amey_jain — Wed, 22 Jun 2016 04:31:39 GMT

I am trying to modify the template of the alert notification. I see in the template code it tries to display ambari url but it never displays that. The lower end of the template reads like

<div class="ambari-footer">
    This notification was sent to $dispatch.getTargetName()
    <br/>
    Apache Ambari $ambari.getServerVersion()
    #if( $ambari.hasUrl() )
    <br/>
    Ambari Server link: <a href=$ambari.getUrl()>$ambari.getUrl()</a>
    #end
  </div>
</html>
      ]]>
    </body>

But I think method

ambari.hasUrl()

is always false. I tried printing the

$ambari.getUrl()

but it displays as it is. In the emails I see "$ambari.getUrl()". I checked the code

https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/71a1f7e0e5985b1a77bf09b976ebda3ab3fdbbf5/ambari-server/src/main/java/org/apache/ambari/server/state/services/AlertNoticeDispatchService.java

@Inject
private Configuration m_configuration;

I am not sure from where it is getting injected from. Any suggestions why ambari url is not coming in the configs.

It needs to take a static value from the /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties file. You need to add this and restart:

ambari.display.url = http://www.myserver.com

I added

ambari.display.url = http://100.123.123.123:8080 in properties file

but I still dont see ambari url in the email. I manually added

$ambari.getUrl() but it gets in the email as it is. Any other thing that I can do?
