Restructures several alert/log messages to be more consistent and information-rich, and introduces a shared formatter for host location descriptions (fixing CLOUDSTACK-7297).
Changes:
- Added
AlertFormatUtils.describeHostLocation(...)and reused it in HA/agent/orchestration alert call sites. - Updated many alerts/logs to include object context (e.g.,
host,domain,account) rather than only IDs/UUIDs. - Tweaked multiple failure/permission messages to improve operator readability.

- The conditional uses
hostId != nullbut printshost(object). IfhostIdis set but the host lookup failed, this will produceon host [null]and loses the only reliable identifier (the host id). Consider usinghost != nullfor the host-object rendering, and fall back tohostIdwhenhostis null so the alert remains actionable.
String subject = String.format("Failed to deploy Instance [%s]", vm);
String body = String.format("Failed to deploy [%s]%s. To troubleshoot, please check the logs with [logid:%s].",
vm,
hostId != null ? String.format(" on host [%s]", host) : "",
ThreadContext.get("logcontextid"));

- These alerts now depend on
Account.toString()/Domain.toString()for human-readable names, and will rendernullif the DAO lookup returns null—where previously the IDs were always present. To keep alerts stable and actionable, consider formatting explicitly (e.g., account name + id, domain name + id) with a fallback to the raw IDs when the DAO lookup fails, instead of relying ontoString().

- This test hard-codes expectations around
toString()output forAccountVOandDomainVO, which is typically not a stable API and can change without functional impact. If the production intent is to include account/domain names, it would be more robust to have production code format using explicit getters (e.g., account name / domain name) and have the test stub those getters and assert on them.
AccountVO srcAccount = Mockito.mock(AccountVO.class);
when(srcAccount.toString()).thenReturn("Account {accountName=account-a}");

- If

- The PR description is still the default template (type-of-change checkboxes and testing details are not filled in). Since repository automation relies on the description for labeling/documentation, please update the PR description to clearly state the functional behavior change and how it was tested.
* Shared formatting for the host/zone/pod description that recurs, independently
* hand-rolled and inconsistently worded (and occasionally mislabelled), across the
* HA and agent-management alert call sites. See CLOUDSTACK-7297.

- This error path explicitly allows domainId to be null, but the exception message still calls _entityMgr.findById(Domain.class, domainId). If domainId is null this can throw a NullPointerException (GenericDaoBase.findById uses cache.get(id)/lockRow(id) without null checks), preventing the intended InvalidParameterValueException from being returned.
if (domainId == null || !_domainDao.isChildDomain(account.getDomainId(), domainId)) {
throw new InvalidParameterValueException(String.format("Unable to create disk offering by another domain-admin: %s for domain: %s", user, _entityMgr.findById(Domain.class, domainId)));
}
server/src/main/java/com/cloud/configuration/ConfigurationManagerImpl.java:3598
- The exception message calls _entityMgr.findById(Domain.class, domainId) without guarding against domainId being null. DomainHelper.filterChildSubDomains can return null entries if the input list contains nulls, and GenericDaoBase.findById(null) can throw a NullPointerException (e.g., via cache access), masking the intended InvalidParameterValueException.
This issue also appears on line 4648 of the same file.
if (!_domainDao.isChildDomain(account.getDomainId(), domainId)) {
throw new InvalidParameterValueException(String.format("Unable to create service offering by another domain-admin: %s for domain: %s", user, _entityMgr.findById(Domain.class, domainId)));

- Same as the account alert above: if domain lookup returns null, the message becomes "... dedicated to domain null ..." and loses the domain id. Adding a simple fallback keeps the alert actionable even with missing domain records.
Domain srcDomain = _domainDao.findById(srcDomainId);
Domain destDomain = destDomainId != null ? _domainDao.findById(destDomainId) : null;
String msg = String.format("VM is being migrated from host %s explicitly dedicated to domain %s to host %s %s",
srcHost, srcDomain, destHost, destDomain != null ? "explicitly dedicated to domain " + destDomain : "not dedicated to a specific domain");
plugins/storage/volume/datera/src/main/java/org/apache/cloudstack/storage/datastore/provider/DateraHostListener.java:303
- The failure alert message can lose the host identifier when the host record is missing:
hostmay be null, resulting in "host null" with nohostId. This makes the alert less actionable in exactly the scenarios where DB lookup fails.
if (!answer.getResult()) {
HostVO host = _hostDao.findById(hostId);
String msg = String.format("Unable to attach storage pool %s to host %s", storagePool, host);
_alertMgr.sendAlert(AlertManager.AlertType.ALERT_TYPE_HOST, storagePool.getDataCenterId(), storagePool.getPodId(), msg, msg);
engine/storage/volume/src/main/java/org/apache/cloudstack/storage/datastore/provider/DefaultHostListener.java:167
- If
hostDao.findById(hostId)returns null, the alert will say "host null" and omit the host id. Keeping a fallback tohostIdpreserves actionable context during attach failures.
if (!answer.getResult()) {
String msg = String.format("Unable to attach storage pool %s to the host %s", pool, host);
alertMgr.sendAlert(AlertManager.AlertType.ALERT_TYPE_HOST, pool.getDataCenterId(), pool.getPodId(), msg, msg);
server/src/main/java/com/cloud/vm/UserVmManagerImpl.java:7777
- These alerts now rely on
Account.toString()/Domain.toString(). If_accountDao.findById(...)returns null (e.g., stale dedication records), the message becomes "... dedicated to account null ..." and loses the id that previously made the alert actionable. Consider falling back to the id when the entity lookup fails.
This issue also appears on line 7784 of the same file.
Account srcAccount = _accountDao.findById(srcAccountId);
Account destAccount = destAccountId != null ? _accountDao.findById(destAccountId) : null;
String msg = String.format("VM is being migrated from host %s explicitly dedicated to account %s to host %s %s",
srcHost, srcAccount, destHost, destAccount != null ? "explicitly dedicated to account " + destAccount : "not dedicated to a specific account");
server/src/main/java/com/cloud/ha/HighAvailabilityManagerImpl.java:525
- When
hostIdis null and the host record can't be resolved, the alert body will includehost id: null. It would be clearer to omit the id segment or use an explicit "unknown" value whenhostIdis null.
} else {
hostDesc = "host id: " + hostId;
