severityMapping
===============

.. index::
   single: mmsnmptrapd; severityMapping
   single: severityMapping

.. summary-start

Defines severity string to numeric code mappings.

.. summary-end

This parameter applies to :doc:`../../configuration/modules/mmsnmptrapd`.

:Name: severityMapping
:Scope: module
:Type: string
:Default: module=none
:Required?: no
:Introduced: at least 5.8.1, possibly earlier

Description
-----------
This specifies the severity mapping table. It must be specified as a list.
Note that **no whitespace** is supported inside the list, as it will likely
lead to parsing errors. The list is
constructed of Severity-Name/Severity-Value pairs, delimited by comma.
Severity-Name is a case-sensitive string, e.g. ``warning`` and an associated
numerical value (e.g. 4). Possible values are in the range 0..7 and are defined
in `RFC5424, table 2 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5424#section-6.2.1>`_.
The given sample would be specified as ``warning/4``. The mapping is defined
when the module is loaded using the ``module()`` statement. This setting applies
to all subsequent actions that use this module instance. To use different
mappings, load separate instances of the module in different rulesets.
