Object Configuration Client: The Understanding 45
The Violation Severity box allows you to change the severity of a message before it is forwarded to the Enterprise
console. These severity settings match those available for the Enterprise console selected.
The options available for HPOM/OVO and SNMP are as follows:
• CRITICAL
• MAJOR
• MINOR
• WARNING
• NORMAL
• ORIGINAL
The options available for Tivoli are as follows:
• FATAL
• CRITICAL
• MINOR
• WARNING
• HARMLESS
• ORIGINAL
The severity value of the message will be overridden with the specified value if any of the Severity options other
than ORIGINAL is selected. If ORIGINAL is selected, severity override will take place and the value specified in
the Action panel is used. The value specified on the eEvents panel impacts the value that is used in the Console
and the Enterprise Management System. If the Tools/Options/Keep Severity in the Sync option is turned ON,
then any change here affects the value in the Action panel. If that option is turned OFF, then it is possible to use
a different severity in the Enterprise Management System and Console, then the value displayed within the text of
the EMS violation message.
Specify the Object Name, Manager Name, Customer Name, Location, Service ID, Message Group/Layer and
Event Text Replacement in the various fields available.
The Insert from file link on the eEvents tab page allows loading the message format from a saved template file.
This is a .txt file that contains information to specify the Custom message format. This allows you to define a
common format that can then be used for many thresholds without having to enter the same text over and over
again.
Clicking the Parameter list hyperlink displays the Substitution Parameters dialog box. This lists all the Supplied
macros that can be substituted during message construction.
