How are you sending the events to TEC now?  By a ruleset?  What does it do?
You can easily add an override node to a ruleset to change the severity but
the tricky part is adding this to whatever you are already doing.

Subject:  [NV-L] Hostname Severity Exceptions



Hello,

I was wondering what would be the easiest way to create an exception to a
rule and whether it would be better served processing the rule on Netview
or
would it be easier on TEC.  Basically, out of 210 Compaq Servers, the
customer wants all events to come in as SEV_4 (currently, I have a TEC Slot
to pass severities), but for 2 specific servers server_1 and server_2, they
want to have the severities be SEV_2.

The rule logic would be If server_1 or server_2 then severity=SEV_2, else
severity=SEV4

It is my first pass as a Netview newbie to insert exceptions, so any
feedback is greatly appreciated.
