How to disable Credential Management Event alarms

Is it possible to change the severity of these alarms, for example from Fatal to Critical?

1. Open the file "$FGLHOME/config/server.config"
2. Add the following "server.vm.optionN" line where "N" is the smallest number that is not already taken
           server.vm.optionN = "-Dfoglight.credential.alarms.disabled=true";
       For example if server.vm.option0 and server.vm.option1 are already present add the following line:
           server.vm.option2 = "-Dfoglight.credential.alarms.disabled=true";
       WARNING: This disables credential alarms for *all* agents.
3.  Stop/Restart Foglight Management Server.

The credential alarms can be disabled from the JMX console until the FMS can be restarted. Changes the setting from the JMX console won't persist after the FMS is restarted. Following are the steps to disable the Credential Management Event alarms from the JMX console. 1). Login to the JMX console (http://fmshost:port/jmx-console) as the "foglight" user. 2). Click on the "service=CredentialAlarmGenerator" link. 3). Select the "True" radio button for the "Disabled" attribute and then click the "Apply Changes" button. Or from the script console by using this line of code: new com.quest.nitro.service.util.MBeanRef(javax.management.ObjectName.getInstance("com.quest.nitro:service=CredentialAlarmGenerator")).ref().disabled = true
