4.1.1 Format of the NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file

The NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file consists of the following two blocks:

• Filter condition block
  This block specifies conditions for the NNMi incidents that are to be converted into JP1 events (filter conditions). Specification of a filter condition block is mandatory.
  
• Mapping block
  This block specifies correspondences between NNMi incident attributes and JP1 event attributes (mapping conditions). Specification of a mapping block is optional.
  

The filter condition block and the mapping block constitute a forwarding condition block.

The following table shows the structure of an NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file.

Table 4-1 Structure of an NNMi incident forwarding filter definition file

Block		Setting item	Description
Forwarding condition block	Filter condition block	Conditional statement	Specifies a condition for determining NNMi incidents that are to be converted into JP1 events.
		Exclusion condition	Specifies a condition for determining NNMi incidents that are not to be converted into JP1 events.
	Mapping block	Message	Specifies the mapping of messages.
		Severity	Specifies the mapping of severities.
		Extended attribute	Specifies the mapping of extended attributes.
