> Ambari's various dispatchers (such as Email and SNMP) can benefit from having a mechanism where a template can be defined for the construction of notification data. This decouples the content that Ambari is sending from the logic to compute the aggregate alerts.
> Apache Velocity is a good choice for this requirement as it includes a maturing template language, VTL.
> A single XML file that ships with Ambari will contain the default templates for known alert target types. There will be an option to override the use of this file with a user-specified location via ambari.properties. In the event that a user-specific XML file cannot be parsed, appropriate exceptions will be thrown, but the {{AlertNoticeDispatchService}} will attempt to gracefully fallback on other content rendering options (such as the internal XML file).
> The following data should be exposed to VTL:
> - a list of all alert changes
> -- alert name, state, date, label
> -- a list for each state change
> -- lists for all alerts, broke down by service and state
> - a list of all services with an alert
> - a list of all hosts with an alert
> - total counts of changes separated
> -- one count for each alert state
--
