Improve OpenStackManager's Echo-based notification emails
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Currently an echo notification email is:

Subject: New notification at Wikitech

You have a new notification.

To control which emails we send you, check your preferences:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo


I would expect at least a link to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Notifications The notification contents should also be included unless there's a good reason not to.


Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

The contents are included for "core" Echo notifications. Maybe some of the ones the Wikitech wiki uses are not configured / defined properly.

It's a regression, somewhere.

The notifications I received on October have no contents. Special:Notifications shows they are of type «Chad deleted instance 'gerrit-test' in project Nova Resource:Gerrit»

However, notifications received on July did have the contents: «Ryan Lane deleted instance 'node' in project [[Nova Resource:Webtools]]»

I think all "Nova" stuff belongs to the OpenStackManager extension.
Echo just provides a framework for the notifications.

This is due to an update in echo that OpenStackManager needs to make changes for. There's a fix in, but it needs qqq and to be tested:

We (the labs team) plan to add no more new features / do any non-critical work on OpenStackManager - switch to Horizon is under way :) Other users of OpenStack are also advised to *not* use OSM, if for some reason they think it is a good idea - in fact even we don't have an exact test setup left. So I'm on a closing spree, closing all things directly OSM related. Please re-open with different projects added if you think this would still be an issue on Horizon. Thanks!
