5.3 Changing the severity level of events

When you are using the integrated monitoring database, you can change the severity level of an event by setting up the severity changing function.

For details about how to set up the integrated monitoring database, see 1.4(2) Setting up the integrated monitoring database in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Configuration Guide.

For details about how to set up the severity changing function, see 4.9 Setting the severity changing function in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Configuration Guide.

To change the severity level of an event:

Make sure that the severity changing function is enabled for the event.
If it is not enabled, use the jcoimdef command and enable the severity changing function. Turning on the -chsev option enables the severity changing function for the event. By default, the function is not enabled. For details about the jcoimdef command, see jcoimdef (1. Commands) in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

Define the severity level change for the event in the severity changing definition file.
Create a severity changing definition for each system. You can change the severity level within the following range: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Information, and Debug.
For details about the severity changing definition file, see Severity changing definition file (jcochsev.conf) (2. Definition Files) in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

Specification example for the severity changing definition file

DESC_VERSION=1

def severity-change-1

cnd

B.ID IN 100 200

E.SEVERITY IN Warning

B.SOURCESERVER IN hostA hostB hostC

end-cnd

sev Emergency

end-def

Restart the JP1/IM - Manager service or execute the jco_spmd_reload command.
If you changed the severity changing function from Disabled status to Enabled in Step 1, you need to restart the JP1/IM - Manager service.
For details about the jco_spmd_reload command, see jco_spmd_reload (1. Commands) in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

The severity of the JP1 event after the change is applied is displayed under Severity in the events list. The severity of the JP1 event before the change is applied is displayed under Original severity level in the events list. Additionally, for the JP1 event whose severity was changed, an icon is displayed under New severity level in the events list.

Event Base Service changes the severity of the JP1 events received from the Event Service instance on the manager, and registers the new severity level in the integrated monitoring database. During this process, the content of the event database of Event Service is not changed.

A mapping definition is sometimes used for changing severity. When you use a mapping definition, you can display a different attribute under Severity in the events list.
