Isilon Quota Custom notification

Question

Hi I want to add multiple email addresses to Quota Notification. How can i do? Thanks

This is a shortcoming of the existing quota infrastructure -- only a single email address can be specified (either via CLI or GUI, doesn't matter). Although one would think that something like "foo@bar.com;bar@baz.com" should work, it doesn't.

There's a bug filed for this in engineering already. The current workaround, as folks here have pointed out, is to use a distribution list. We recognize that this is not optimal.

If this issue is really disruptive, then I would suggest that you also work with your SE to get a feature request filed with Product Management. That will then affect the engineering bug in positive ways...

You can do this via the command line. I haven't done it with multiple individual addresses but I have pointed the notification to a mailing list address and that works fine. The notifications go to BOTH the quota domain owner and the mailing list.

This is an example from OneFS 7.1.1.2:

# isi quota quotas notifications create /ifs/DIR directory hard exceeded --action-email-address list@example.com --holdoff 5m --email-template /ifs/home/admin/notification-templates/quota --action-email-owner yes

# isi quota quotas notifications view /ifs/DIR --type directory hard exceeded

Threshold: hard

Condition: exceeded

Schedule: -

Holdoff: 5m

ActionAlert: Yes

EmailOwner: Yes

NotifyAddress: list@example.com

Email Template: /ifs/home/admin/notification-templates/quota

# isi quota quotas notifications list /ifs/DIR --type directory

Threshold Condition
---------------------
hard exceeded
advisory exceeded
---------------------
Total: 2

Hi Kipcranford,

We are running with 7.2.1 OneFS, We need the configuration like share level custom notification.

We tried configuring custom notification email for the individual share owner, It doesn't send the email to the individual owner's email address rather it sends to the distribution list.

Could you please update if this issue is fixed for any of the OneFS releases.

Thanks,

I have changed the mail id at the existing quota configuration using below command. Though it would be helpful for someone.

sgscfi0018-1# isi quota quotas notifications view /ifs/clc_***/ --type default-user hard exceeded
Threshold: hard
Condition: exceeded
Schedule: -
Holdoff: Now
ActionAlert: No
EmailOwner: Yes
NotifyAddress: ***_iti-storage-team@***.com
Email Template: -
sgscfi0018-1#

sgscfi0018-1# isi quota quotas notifications modify /ifs/clcaehome_300gb/ --type default-user hard exceeded --action-email-address ***-proj_iti-storage-alarms@****.com
