Configuration files

When a notifier starts, it reads a configuration file (*.conf). Original versions of the adapter configuration files are installed to the BASEDIR/smarts/conf/notifier directory. Retain the original (unedited) version of each configuration file. If you intend to modify a configuration file, use the
sm_edit
utility provided with your
VMware Smart Assurance
software. This will ensure that you modify a copy of the file and this copy is placed in the proper local subdirectory. “Editing notification adapter files” on page 20 contains additional information on modifying files and using
sm_edit
. Notification adapter configuration files lists the name of each notifier’s configuration file.

Whenever you modify a configuration file, you must stop and restart the notifier for the changes to take effect.
