Interesting... playing on a 8.0.0.2 virtual node:  Sev: *  is what I get after  isi event alert mod 'ConnectEMC New' --clear-severity  so it seems * (meaning any) is used when none has been specifically selected. From there, the following work just fine  isi event alert mod 'ConnectEMC New' --severity emergency,critical,warning and/or isi event alert mod 'ConnectEMC New' --add-severity emergency,critical,warning  resulting in  Sev: ECW   hth  -- Peter
The event alerting on OneFS seems to be dead set on sending alerts on Informational stuff. I have tried removing Information from all of my smtp-sending alerts, and yet it remains.   See the following:  dm11-2# isi event alerts view alert1                                                Name: alert1 Eventgroup: -   Category: 100000000, 200000000, 800000000, 400000000, 500000000, 900000000, 700000000, 600000000, 300000000        Sev: *    Channel: smtp1  Condition: NEW EVENTS dm11-2# isi event alerts modify alert1 --remove-severity=information dm11-2# isi event alerts view alert1                                       Name: alert1 Eventgroup: -   Category: 100000000, 200000000, 800000000, 400000000, 500000000, 900000000, 700000000, 600000000, 300000000        Sev: *    Channel: smtp1  Condition: NEW EVENTS dm11-2#   Anyone have any ideas? 
OneFS 8.0.0.2 isi event alerts modify doesn't work
