Hari Sekhon updated AMBARI-21337:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Request to add global SMTP / SNMP settings which can be inherited by default by 
each alert configuration (server, port, from address, auth creds, community 
string).

I'm seeing a customer with several email alert configurations going to 
different places and each one has the same SMTP details duplicated in each 
alert notification which is redundant and will require changing in multiple 
places at some point. Keeping the ability to override the settings for each 
alert notification configuration is useful but it makes sense to have a single 
point to configure the shared SMTP settings if they're not different.

The same thing applies to SNMP host, port and community string as they're most 
likely going to be the same across different alert configurations.
