How to disable specific alarms

Hi everyone,

Shiny new forums eh! Shame I lost all my profile and history but hey-ho.

Anyway, I've successfully installed the 'MySQL Database Monitor (Core)' Zenpack on my Zenoss 4.2.4 server and am monitoring a server MySQL db. Trouble is I keep getting "LATEST DETECTED DEADLOCK" alarms in to Zenoss. I know these alarms are nothing serious and want to either disable that particular alarm or drop it's severity down from 3 to 2.

Over to you clever lot for the answer :)

Thanks

To which event class does the event get generated. If you are sure about the event class, you can do a messgae.find and bring down the severity. See the below snippet

if evt.message.find('LATEST DETECTED DEADLOCK') >=0:
evt.severity='2'

why not simply filter it out of your notifications Otherwise look at the event itself (double click on it) and you'll see what category it's coming from, and adjust Event Class Mappings accordingly.
