<![CDATA[Adding Alarm Level Types]]>Is there a way to add custom Alarm Levels to use with my own events, rather than the stock "important", "safety", etc ones?

It is not possible to add/remove or change the colors of the alarm levels.

In this post, I see that we can change name of Alarm Level.
Is that possible to add some more Alarm level in addition to 7 default levels ?

Thanks!

However you can change their translations as @Wingnut2-0 pointed out.

As he said that information is from a while ago. I would suggest the best way of doing it would be to create a new i18n_en.properties (assuming your language is set to English) file in ${MA_HOME}/overrides/properties/ with this content (modify as necessary)

common.alarmLevel.none=None
common.alarmLevel.none.rtn=None - returned to normal
common.alarmLevel.info=Information
common.alarmLevel.info.rtn=Information - returned to normal
common.alarmLevel.important=Important
common.alarmLevel.important.rtn=Important - returned to normal
common.alarmLevel.warning=Warning
common.alarmLevel.warning.rtn=Warning - returned to normal
common.alarmLevel.urgent=Urgent
common.alarmLevel.urgent.rtn=Urgent - returned to normal
common.alarmLevel.critical=Critical
common.alarmLevel.critical.rtn=Critical - returned to normal
common.alarmLevel.lifeSafety=Safety
common.alarmLevel.lifeSafety.rtn=Safety - returned to normal
common.alarmLevel.unknown=unknown alarm level
common.alarmLevel.doNotLog=Do not log
common.alarmLevel.ignore=Ignore

common.alarmLevel.greaterthan.none=>= None
common.alarmLevel.greaterthan.info=>= Information
common.alarmLevel.greaterthan.important=>= Important
common.alarmLevel.greaterthan.warning=>= Warning
common.alarmLevel.greaterthan.urgent=>= Urgent
common.alarmLevel.greaterthan.critical=>= Critical
common.alarmLevel.greaterthan.lifeSafety=>= Safety

Doing it this way means that

  • The file is not overwritten when upgrading
  • Mango will still use updated translation files shipped with new versions of Mango (i.e. you aren't overriding the whole translation file, just the keys you need)

I had a similar requirement in the past and Phillip provided the solution detailed here. Not sure if anything may have changed since then as its been a while. I hope this helps.
