Many thanks for the support.
Veeam ONE allows working either with custom attributes or VM tags, this selection is made in the Business View configuration page. Adding VM tags to the body of the email should be an easy task.zciklacekic wrote:These information can be manually set (in custom attributes and tags) like the description of the VM, location of the VM, responsible person/department of VM; adn or can be automatically changed like IP address and DNS name which can be gathered from VMtools. When an alert is created and send to the admins, we want to include these information in the e-mail body and/or subject.
This line is hard coded. Do you want to replace it with some other data?zciklacekic wrote:And we also want to remove the words "[Veeam ONE Monitor] Alarm" from the starting of the mail subject line.
Not sure about the last one. Parsing information from VM tags and if there is an email address, then send an alert to the specified email address does not seem to be the common case.zciklacekic wrote:And we want to use the e-mail address in tags (which we manually enter for each vm) to send these alerts automatically without setting them in veeam one monitor alarm settings everytime a responsible changes.
Can you please give us information about if those features will be available and if yes when?
I really could not find how to add VMtag to the body of alert e-mails. I've imported a Tag into Business View. But there is no setting to allow me to add that tag into alarm e-mails. I think alarm e-mails is not something that can be modified. So I think you misunderstood me or I could not explain what I really wanted to explain.Vitaliy S. wrote:Veeam ONE allows working either with custom attributes or VM tags, this selection is made in the Business View configuration page.

I just want to remove this header from the subject of the mail. Otherwise we only see this sentence and not the real subject of alarm and which VM is about in small screen resolutions.Vitaliy S. wrote:This line is hard coded. Do you want to replace it with some other data?
Let me explain in more detail. Say we have 1000 VMs. On every VM we have several tags assigned manually by admins (probably the provisioners). Say one of these tags is "Responsible" and other one is "email_of_responsible". So when this VM is created in a vcenter that is already monitored by Veeam, I want the alarms of this VM directly goes to person that is in "Responsible" tag with using e-mail address that was also in"email_of_responsible" tag. So the Body of the mail should start like this: Dear "Responsible" please take care of following condition with VM below. And there should be alarm details in the body of mail. And we also should add some other information from the VM Tags. Like Company name, Application name, Environment type, Description of the VM.Vitaliy S. wrote:Not sure about the last one.

Can you please tell me why using Veeam ONE Monitor alarm settings does't work for you? I would prefer to add more functionality to alarm settings to fit your scenario, so I would appreciate if you could elaborate on the last FR a bit more.
I meant to say that it would be easy for us to add this functionality in the next update, sorry for this misunderstanding.zciklacekic wrote:I really could not find how to add VMtag to the body of alert e-mails
I have created a feature request to include this data to the body of email in the next update.zciklacekic wrote: So again to be able to handle this:
-We need to add informations in the VM Tags(preferred) or custom attributes to Veeam ONE Monitor Alarm mail bodies and maybe mail subjects.
I see the use case here, but what if we allow specifying email address/SNMP receiver for each Business View group we create in Veeam ONE? This would allow you to send emails to application owners only, besides parsing VM tag for some custom actions be it either email address/SNMP receiver or something else does not seem the best way of addressing this feature request.zciklacekic wrote:-Additionally we want to use one of the VM tags as e-mail targets for the alarms of that VM. Maybe we can add more functionality of using a tag as target of snmp target.
Yes, this can be done in our next major update.zciklacekic wrote:-I do not know if it is possible but, it would be nice to have VM's IP and hostname(generally this is different then VMname) gathered from VMtools into Veeam One Monitor alarm mail bodies too.
As we have lots of locations and they all managed by one central operations center this will make our lifes easy. 3 of our admins do these tasks manually every day and they spend their 3-4 hours for just this functionality.
