| Subject: | Event Notifications - modifying email text |
| Author: | Mark H |

To start with, I'd like to modify the Severity section. At the moment ${evt/severity} brings back a number between 1 and 6. I'd prefer it to show a descriptive word instead, i.e. INFO, WARN, ERR, etc. Is there a $ parameter that I could use for that. With that in mind, is there a definitive list of all these $ parameters anyway Thanks
P.S. I cannot use the formatting on these appalling new forums! How on earth this was allowed to go live I'll never understand. Carriage Returns, code entry, none of it works

Hi,
In the Core Admin guide take a look at page 191 for a list of evt/ variables you can use.
If you're having trouble with formatting or pasting try "Basic HTML" if you need a tag it's missing please request it in the Administration forum and we'll look at adding it.

OK, thanks. I've played with lots of different 'evt' and 'eventSummary' settings and none of them give me a word instead of a number for event severity. Can anyone else help me with this please
Thanks

You have to be creative and do some research, I found the answer in 5 minutes.
Use the instructions from here:
http://community.zenoss.org/message/68226#68226 (dpetzel's Helpful Answer)
With this transform as an example:
#Severity Conversion
if getattr(evt, 'severity', 5):
evt.severity_title = 'Critical'
Modify your notification to include the new variable:
Severity: ${evt/severity_title}
I even tested it for you :) I received a critical alert and it said this:
Severity: Critical
I might write up a wiki entry on this!

I had found that post you've linked to but because I don't know Python I couldn't move forward.
This is great, but can you help me a little bit more by showing me how to do 'else' commands e.g.
if getattr(evt, 'severity', 5):
evt.severity_title = 'Critical'; else
if getattr(evt, 'severity', 1):
evt.severity_title = 'Debug'; else
etc, etc......

Your formatting is wrong and you don't need the "; else" in there, take a look at my blog post:
