Hi,
 

I have a question about the GQL updateEvent mutation.
 

I'm trying to use it to change the severity of an existing event, but I'm getting a Bad Request response when executing the mutation:

mutation changeEvent($eventId: ID!, $severity: String) {

  updateEvent(id: $eventId, severity: $severity) {

    id

  }

}

 

Is changing the event severity supported with this mutation? If it is, could you let me know how the severity value should be provided?

Thanks!

Hello Santeri,

 

Currently, you cannot change the severity of an active or cleared/expired event. If you want the event to be generated with a different severity, then you will need to edit the Event Policy that creates these events and change the severity there. Keep in mind this will change the severity for all future events generated from this event policy.
