Nutanix monitor alert severity from prism element

[Akash Saini]

Hi Folks,

We received minor  & Major severity alert in the DXIM console through the Nutanix monitor alert check point.(prism element console alert)

And we are planning to change the alert severity from minor\Major to critical from DXIM side.

Any idea how to process this .

Thanks & Regards

Hi Akash, If there is no way to change the severity from the GUI Side of the Nutanix probe, you might try changing the severity once the alerts reach the NAS. For example a pre-processing rule that intercepts all Nutanix alarms and use a LUA script to change the severity:

The script would be: 

event.level = "5"
return event

All of the events that will run through the script will be changed to critical severity. 

If that doesn't work you may try with an Auto-Operator with action type Script, matching Nutanix alarms on_arrival with a LUA script as below: 

a = alarm.get ()
a.level = "5"
alarm.set(a)
