4.7 Changing the event level (severity) of JP1 events
When the integrated monitoring database is used, you can use the severity changing function, which changes the event level (severity) of a JP1 event to a predefined event level. By using this function, you can manage JP1 events depending on the system operations. You can change the event level of a JP1 event to Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Information, Notice, or Debug. After changing an event level, you can specify the new event level, or monitor events by using the new event level while using the following functions:
-
JP1 event filtering (event receiver filter, severe event filter, and view filter)
-
Correlation event
-
Event search (when the search object is the integrated monitoring database)
-
Event guide
-
Automated action
-
Output of event report
-
Central Scope
-
Incident registration
By using these functions, for example, you can change the different event levels of JP1 events issued from various hosts to one event level for each host, or change different event levels of JP1 events to one event level for JP1 events.
