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 master server:
Windows:
install_path\var\global\wmc\h2Stores\notifications\propertiesUNIX:
/usr/openv/var/global/wmc/h2Stores/notifications/properties
To disable event notifications
- Add a DISABLE entry in the
eventlog.propertiesfile in one of the following formats:DISABLE.NotificationType = true
Or DISABLE.NotificationType.Action = true
Or DISABLE.namespace
See Table: NetBackup event types supported with notifications for valid NotificationType and Action values.
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
To modify the priority or severity of event notifications
- Add or change an entry in the
eventlog.propertiesfile 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.

Machine [Master/Media/Cluster] Machine Note: If you add a VMware server, an RHV server, or a Cloud server with valid credentials, then a Machine Create notification is generated. If you try to add a VMware server, an RHV server, or a Cloud server with invalid credentials, then Machine Create and Machine Delete notifications are generated. During an agentless VMware restore, NetBackup requires the credentials for the virtual machine where the files are to be restored. These credentials are stored in the database, in a similar manner as vCenter credentials. Machine-type notifications are generated when these credentials are added, updated, or deleted in the database with UUID as the host value. | CREATE | INFO | The host {Host_Name} was created. |
