NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Modify or disable NetBackup event notifications in the web UI

You can disable specific types of NetBackup event notifications that appear in the web UI, or modify their severity and priority, by making changes to the eventlog.properties file on the NetBackup primary server:

  • Windows:

    install_path\var\global\wmc\h2Stores\notifications\properties

  • UNIX:

    /usr/openv/var/global/wmc/h2Stores/notifications/properties

Disable event notifications

To disable event notifications

  • Add a DISABLE entry in the eventlog.properties file in one of the following formats:

    DISABLE.NotificationType = true

    Or DISABLE.NotificationType.Action = true

    Or DISABLE.namespace

    For valid NotificationType and Action values, see the following topic.

    See NetBackup event types supported with notifications.

    For example:

    • To disable notifications about all storage unit events:

      DISABLE.StorageUnit = true

    • To disable only notifications about create storage unit events:

      DISABLE.StorageUnit.CREATE = true

    • To disable only notifications about update to storage unit events using a namespace:

      DISABLE.eventlog.vrts.nbu.emm.storageunit.update = true

Modify event notifications

To modify the priority or severity of event notifications

  • Add or change an entry in the eventlog.properties file in one of the following formats:

    NotificationType.Action.priority = value

    Or NotificationType.Action.severity = value

    Valid priority values are: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH

    Valid severity values are: CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG

    For example:

    • To set priority and severity for create storage unit events:

      StorageUnit.CREATE.priority = LOW
      StorageUnit.CREATE.severity = INFO

Note:

It can take up to one minute for the events of type Policy, SLP, and Catalog to generate after the corresponding action has been performed.
