Event Action Editor window: Modify an event and send it

Resends the event that originally triggered the event automation plan. Before resending the event, the action modifies the event data, such as its text and severity, to your specification.

Fields

New event text
Displays the new event text. You can use event-data-substitution variables in the text to include the attributes of the event associated with this action.
New event severity
Specifies that you want to keep the severity assigned to the event that triggers this action (Use event severity) or that you want to use another severity level from the list.
Detail slot settings
Specifies a slot ID and its value. To specify multiple slot IDs and values, separate each entry with a space.

An event can have one or more event details, or slots attached to it. Slots are not extended attributes of the event, but are extensions added when the event is generated. The slots contain arbitrary keys and their values, depending on the event type. Before this event action resends an event, the event action can modify not only the event text and severity, but also the slot values.

To modify a slot value, you must specify key=value pairs. If the key is included in any of an event's slots, the value is replaced.
