Users Guide

● Custom severity profile—Contains events that you modify. You can classify events as CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR,
WARNING, or INFORMATIONAL in severity.
Events and their characteristics that are defined in the custom profile take precedence over the default profile.
To create a custom severity profile, copy the default severity profile to a remote host and modify it. After the custom profile is
created, copy it from the remote host to the OS10 switch and apply it. The custom profile takes effect after a system restart.
NOTE:
● To customize severity profiles, your user account must have any one of the following privileges: System admin
(sysadmin), security admin (secadmin), or network admin (netadmin).
● You cannot edit an active custom profile. To edit an active custom severity profile, select another severity profile and
apply it.
The severity-profile:// partition contains all the defined severity profiles. To view a list of severity profiles, use the dir
severity-profile command.
To delete a severity profile, use the delete command. You can delete all severity profiles except the default and active profiles.
Configure custom severity profile
To modify the severity of events or disable event notification:
Your user account must have any one of the following privileges: System admin (sysadmin), security admin (secadmin), or
network admin (netadmin).
1. Use the dir command to view the list of available severity profiles in the severity-profile:// partition.
OS10# dir severity-profile
Date (modified) Size (bytes) Name
--------------------- ------------ ---------------
2019-03-27T15:24:06Z 46741 default.xml
2019-04-01T11:22:33Z 456 custom.xml
2. Copy one of the available severity profiles to a remote host.
OS10# copy severity-profile://default.xml scp://username:password@a.b.c.d/dir-path/
mySevProf.xml
3. Modify the .xml file with changes as required.
NOTE:
When you modify the xml file, you must select one of the following severities:
● CRITICAL
● MAJOR
● MINOR
● WARNING
● INFORMATIONAL
If you want OS10 to generate the event, set the Enable flag to true. To turn off event notification, set the Enable flag
to false.
If you enter invalid values, the event severity-profile command fails.
4. Copy the custom profile to the OS10 switch.
OS10# copy scp://username:password@a.b.c.d/dir-path/mySevProf.xml severity-profile://
mySevProf_1.xml
When you copy the custom profile, you must update the name of the custom profile. You cannot use the same name as the
default profile (default.xml) or the active profile (mySevProf.xml).
5. Apply the custom severity profile on the switch.
OS10# event severity-profile mySevProf_1.xml
