FancyEmail ZenPack

The ZenPack provides a new Notification type, FancyEmail, which is based on the standard Email notification but whose body and clear_body contain html formatting rather than simple text. They also include image banners.

Support

This ZenPack is developed by the Zenoss user community and supported via our online forums. Zenoss, Inc. does not provide direct support for this ZenPack.

Releases

Version 1.1.0- Download
Summary of changes: HTML emails, including table format and banner images
Released on 2014/11/18
Compatible with Zenoss Core 4.2.x, Zenoss Resource Manager 4.2.x

Background

See the README.rst for details. Don't forget to restart zenactiond after installing the ZenPack. If you already have a FancyEmail notification and you modify / reinstall the ZenPack, the existing notification will not have the benefit of any changes so always remember to create a new notification to test.

The ZenPack introduces non-standard event fields which need to be set in the transform of the top-level eventClass. Code is included in root_transform.txt.

Minor update 21st Nov 2014 to add utf-8 charset flag - no version/release update - sha updated
