Modifying an event

The web service API uses the PUT method to modify an event. The URL to update or modify an event is http://<bppmserver>/bppmws/api/Event/update. The input parameters to modify an event are the same as the Input parameters in the JSON format to create events but the use the update function instead of the create function. You must provide authentication credentials by using the login API before accessing the data. For information about the authentication process, see Web-services-authentication.

Warning

Note

You must provide the mc_ueid attribute to update an event. If it is not provided, a new event is created based on the input parameters.

Sample input parameters in the JSON format are as follows:

{
    "eventSourceHostName": "bppmwsserver.calbro.com",
    "eventSourceIPAddress": "192.72.255.151",
    "attributes": {
        "CLASS": "EVENT",
        "mc_object_uri": "",
        "mc_ueid": "mc.pncell_BPPMprod.f0163a7.0",
        "severity": "OK",
        "msg": "Application Server Disk check OK",
        "mc_smc_alias": "Production AppServer",
        "mc_smc_id": "Model1_10000_S0109",
        "mc_owner": "Administrator",
        "mc_priority": "PRIORITY_5"
    }
}
