This parameter applies to mmsnmptrapd message modification module.

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. 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.

Module usage

module(load="mmsnmptrapd" severityMapping="warning/4,error/3")
