Restrict message change auditing to higher severities


Some users need message change auditing, but only need to audit changes to messages with a higher severity. For example, you might need to audit all changes to messages with a severity of "Major" or "Critical," but not messages with a severity of "Minor" or below.

For severity changes events, all message changes are audited when the old severity is at least the configured severity, or when the new severity is at least the configured severity. In the example given above, a severity change of "Major" to a severity of "Normal" and a severity change of "Normal" to "Critical" would be audited. A severity change of "Minor" to "Normal" would not.

You can set the severity threshold when to audit message changes by setting the minimal message severity that should be audited.

To restrict message change auditing to higher severities

  1. In the console tree, right-click Operations Manager, and then click ConfigurearrowServer.... The Server Configuration dialog appears.
  2. Click Namespaces, and then click Auditing. A list of values appears.

  3. Set the value of Restrict message severities for message change auditing to the lowest severity of message that you want to audit. The default value is Normal, which means that all message changes are audited.
  4. Click Apply.
