Bug 493028

I find that on one existing machine inherited from NOCpulse team, there is in aliases:
rogerthat:  "| /etc/smrsh/ack_enqueuer.pl"
So if we add to aliases:
rogerthat:  "| /usr/bin/ack_enqueuer.pl"
It may work, but we should test it.

Fixed in spacewalk master by
commit e062e0bcee69781b420c32dfae89323911880ed3

Test plan:
* enable monitoring
* create a failing probe (e.g. networking > http on host without web server)
* check that satellite sends monitoring notifications to admin
* create notification filter in webUI (Monitoring > Notifications > Filters) and check it works
* enable email acknowledgement of notifications:
  echo 'rogerthat01:    "| /etc/smrsh/ack_enqueuer.pl"' >>/etc/aliases
  newaliases
* create notification redirect via email - replay to monitoring notification email with a message matching regexp
  (ack|nack) (autoack|metoo|redir|suspend)\s+(host|check)\s+(\d+[hmd])(\s+(\S*))?
Eg. ack metoo host 1h some
* check that email redirects are visible among notification filters
* check that email redirects work

Monitoring redirects via email are disabled by default. To enable them add
following line to /etc/aliases:
 rogerthat01:    "| /etc/smrsh/ack_enqueuer.pl"

The format of ack message is:
[ack|nack] [autoack|metoo|redir|suspend] [host|check] [hmd])(\s+(\S*))?
Eg. ack metoo host 1h some

+The Red Hat Network Satellite documentation provides information on how to redirect incoming notifications by including advanced notification rules in an acknowledgment email. Previously, this functionality was not reliable. With this update, the underlying source code has been modified to address this issue, and the notification redirects now work as expected.-* notif redirs IMO never works (at least since 4.x what I remember)
-* now, redirections are processed correctly

Restart issue has been fixed in spacewalk git by 
commit 89f98593cd632a077f9f25201b707d021e281f19
    fixed ownership of NOCpulse/tmp directory

The last change backported int SATELLITE-5.4 as
commit 9010aa24cae96566dcf03c6e07812f26fa06acc2
    fixed ownership of NOCpulse/tmp directory

Taking the QA contact of this bug.

Verified.

Old packages:

NPalert-1.126.15-1.el5sat
perl-NOCpulse-Gritch-1.27.8-1.el5sat
nocpulse-common-2.1.19-1.el5sat

I have created a notification filter via WebUI and/or by mail reply (according to comment #39), but no email was redirected to the new email address. 


New packages:

NPalert-1.126.15-2.el5sat
perl-NOCpulse-Gritch-1.27.8-2.el5sat
nocpulse-common-2.1.19-3.el5sat

Redirection of mail notifications works fine.
I tried both methods for creating a notification filter with redirection (WebUI, mail reply) and both procedures were successful.
Also the need to restart monitoring services has been fixed.
