configuring hq server for smtp server hyperic 4.2.0.7

This post is about configuring SMTP Server [ For sending email - alerts ] in Hyperic 4.2.0.7.

Let us assume hyperic server is installed at  /home/hyperic/server-4.2.0.7
This is our base directory.

We need to do the following:

1. Two files are required to be updated.
2. Configure URL Correctly in Hyperic Server Portal

Part 1 :
File 1:   jboss-service-events.xml

Inside base directory , an XML file  (jboss-service-events.xml) is located
at   /home/hyperic/server-4.2.0.7/conf/templates

Now edit the  jboss-service-events.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE server>
<!-- $Id: jboss-service.xml,v 1.5 2006/03/08 23:27:28 clee Exp $ -->



<server>
  <!-- ==================================================================== -->
  <!-- Mail Connection Factory                                              -->
  <!-- ==================================================================== -->

  <mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService"
         name="jboss:service=SpiderMail">
    <attribute name="JNDIName">java:/SpiderMail</attribute>
    <attribute name="User">some@smtp.server.in</attribute>
    <attribute name="Password">Password</attribute>
    <attribute name="Configuration">
       <!-- SMTP -->
       <configuration>
    <property name="mail.smtp.host" value="smtp.server.in"/>
         <property name="mail.smtp.auth" value="true"/>
         <property name="mail.smtp.port" value="25"/>
  <property name="mail.debug" value="true"/>
       </configuration>
    </attribute>
  </mbean>

</server>

File 2: hq-server.conf

This File is located at
/home/hyperic/server-4.2.0.7/conf/
