Changing event severity icons

To make the icons that denote event severity more recognizable to your users, replace the default icon images with your own versions.

About this task

You can replace the default severity icon images with customs images that are more appropriate to your organization. You must rename your custom image files to reflect those of the default versions and replace the existing icon images in the relevant folder, depending on whether you want to customize the AEL severity icons or the Event List severity icons.

Procedure

  1. Back up the existing icon image files. Table 1 lists the default file names for the images.
    • For the Active Event List (AEL), the files are in JazzSM_WAS_Profile/installedApps/JazzSMNode01Cell/isc.ear/OMNIbusWebGUI.war/graphicconversions/severity
    • For the Event Viewer, the files are in JazzSM_WAS_Profile/installedApps/JazzSMNode01Cell/isc.ear/OMNIbusWebGUI.war/graphicconversions/themes/theme_name/severity

      Where theme_name is:

      • oneui for the IBM OneUI theme
      • oneuidark for the Tivoli Dark theme
      • idl for the IBM Design theme
    Table 1. Default file names for event severity icons

  2. Rename the files for the replacement icons so that they correspond to the file names shown in Table 1.
  3. Replace the existing PNG files in the relevant folder with your custom icons.
