2.2.1 Using the severity changing function to change the severity level of events

You use the event severity changing function to change the severity level of events to better match your operations. You configure the severity changing function using the severity changing definition file.

Prerequisite conditions:

The integrated monitoring database is configured.

The event severity changing function is enabled.

Let's configure the system so that the severity level of events issued by host A that match Warning is changed to a severity level of Emergency.

Using a text editor, open the severity changing definition file (jcochsev.conf), which is in the following location:

Windows:
Console-path\conf\chsev\jcochsev.conf
shared-folder\jp1cons\conf\chsev\jcochsev.conf (logical host)

UNIX:
/etc/opt/jp1cons/conf/chsev/jcochsev.conf
shared-directory/jp1cons/conf/chsev/jcochsev.conf (logical host)

Specify the settings as follows.
 
DESC_VERSION=1
def severity-level-change-1
    cnd
        E.SEVERITY IN Warning
        B.SOURCESERVER IN hostA
    end-cnd
sev Emergency
end-def
The following table explains these specifications.
