About WIKI
Hello,
I've read the wiki at the following page:
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Home>
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Home
I would like more info about the functions in "cloudstack > global
settings" that are not explained in the wiki.
For examples:
alert.smtp.password
Password for SMTP authentication (applies only if alert.smtp.useAuth is
true).
alert.smtp.port
Port the SMTP server is listening on.
465
alert.smtp.useAuth
If true, use SMTP authentication when sending emails.
Where can I find more info?
Thank you

Are you able to use the API via any other mechanisms? If I'm reading this
right, you have already enabled CloudStack's AWS API compatibility feature,
right? Can you run commands via boto or equiv CLI for AWS?

Hello folks,
I'm trying to connect to our company's cloudstack using JetBrain's Teamcity's built-in Amazon EC2 support. Teamcity asks me for an Access Key ID and a Secret access key which, if I'm not mistaken, is the same thing as the apikey (Access Key ID) and the secretkey (Secret Access Key) generated by Cloudstack. As the Amazon support is built-into Teamcity, I redirected the connection (with no possibility to change the host name in Teamcity) to our cloudstack using a dns redirect on our teamcity machine.
When I try to test the connection from teamcity, the cloudstack logs can see that connection I try to make and as far as I can understand (from our Network ops team) that the cloudstack is seeing a valid url being sent from my side to connect to it. However, I get an error: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.commons.codec.DecoderException: Illegal hexadecimal charcter n at index 0
I looked into this exception a bit and it seems to me that it may something to do with decoding the keys that I'm using.
Would anybody have any idea on what could be the cause of this, or what can I further investigate to figure out why am I being hit with this exception?
Thank you for your time & consideration.

Not sure they're explained anywhere greatly, but basically they are just
the mail settings for sending alerts mails, host down, management server
up, various other errors.
If you have a mail reply server setup then you only need to specify the
alert.smtp.host.
If you require authentication to use said mail server then you need to set
alert.smtp.useAuth to True and fill out the alert.smtp.username and
.password.
The alert.smtp.port is the port. Most of the time that will be 25. The
default 465 is often used for authentication-less relay servers.
Here's some sample values from my database:
mysql> select name,value,description from configuration where name like
'alert.smtp%' \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
name: alert.smtp.host
value: mail.smtpserver.com
description: SMTP hostname used for sending out email alerts.
*************************** 2. row ***************************
name: alert.smtp.password
value: 52l+MXiB/BVgOuq2t1DGSVnlaD604TdW
description: Password for SMTP authentication (applies only if
alert.smtp.useAuth is true).
*************************** 3. row ***************************
name: alert.smtp.port
value: 25
description: Port the SMTP server is listening on.
*************************** 4. row ***************************
name: alert.smtp.useAuth
value: true
description: If true, use SMTP authentication when sending emails.
*************************** 5. row ***************************
name: alert.smtp.username
value: mail-user
description: Username for SMTP authentication (applies only if
alert.smtp.useAuth is true).
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Best regards,
David Comerford
