Email subject prefix, from and name: defaults should get used?

[rlogan403]

When defining a notification for an alert, the values from the server.conf file are ignored (perhaps deprecated).

Users cannot be expected to know all of these, for example, we like to prefix 'dev' or 'stage' or 'production' on the subject header, and the from email - an admin contact that varies for each of these.

Previous versions of Graylog let us programmatically alter these .. but this seems to be ignored now.

Expected Behavior

Current Behavior

Possible Solution

Reinstate the email transport config (examples): transport_email_subject_prefix = [dev] transport_email_from_email = dev_admin@bob.com transport_email_from_name = graylog-dev-alerts

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. 2. 3. 4.

@rlogan403 Which version of Graylog have you been using before?

[rlogan403]

0.20.6, but as the config parameters are still in the server.conf in the 2.2.0 rpm, I assumed these were working - or meant to.

Otherwise, is there an API endpoint for creating these as defaults?

[joschi]

@rlogan403 That's quite a large version jump…

As a matter of fact, the prefix and sender settings from the configuration file have been deprecated some time ago and have no effect whatsoever.

There are no defaults to be set.
