Question
How to send all messages with a specified severity to the Troubleticket and/or Notification
Answer
It is possible to have all messages with a specified severity sent to the Troubleticket and/or Notification service without modifying all template conditions by leveraging the outage (/etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/respmgrs/outage) policy and using the message operation keywords: TROUBLETICKET and/or NOTIFICATION.
The following example specifies a Message Target Rule with a Condition filtering on the Severity of "Critical", which when met, will forward the message on to the trouble ticket subsystem (by setting TROUBLETICKET to True) and to the NOTIFICATION service (by setting NOTIFICATION to True):
MSGTARGETRULE
DESCRIPTION "set notification to true based on severity"
