Event map selection methods

The event map and precedence can be assigned directly from the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus probe rules file, or in the Event Gateway configuration file.

Use one of the following methods to set the event map and precedence.

Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus probe rules files

Configure the probe rules files to populate the NmosEventMap field of the alerts.status event record with the name of the event map and an optional precedence value. In the appropriate section of the rules file for the type of event you want to modify, add a line similar to the following example:

@NmosEventMap = "LinkDownIfIndex.910"

Event Gateway

Populate the config.precedence table using the insert defined in the Event Gateway configuration file, EventGatewaySchema.cfg. For an example, see Event map selection using the Event Gateway.

The eventPrecedence inserts configured in the Event Gateway override eventPrecedence inserts configured in the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus probe rules files. This enables you to locally override any eventPrecedence inserts configured in the network.
