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

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 Table: 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

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.
