Windows or UNIX?
The short answer is "yes, you can do this, but it is not a trivial exercise, unless you have experience with NetView rulesets already."
The long answer is that you would have to write your own ruleset to do it and use that ruleset in place of the default ruleset, forwardall.rs, in your event windows. The down side is that if you display the severity in trapd.log, it will be the default on given in trapd.conf because the override will be down after the event is logged. A further down side is that if you have Windows there is no ruleset editor and you must either create your ruleset on UNIX and export it to Windows, or edit the overridestatus_user1.rs ruleset in Wordpad, which is not an easy task. And you must have FixPack FP03 for 7.1.3 to have that example ruleset at all. If you need Window help, you'll need to post another note.
To answer your next question in advance, I think the ruleset would look something like this (in UNIX):
Event Stream(Pass) -->Trap Settings-->Event Attribute(the one which contains the serverity)-->Override-->Forward
If there are multiple values to be changed, then you would have multiple branches, each repeating the Event Attribute-->Override sequence for each separate case, since you will have to hard code in the Override what the new severity is to be in each case.
To use this ruleset as the default instead of forwardall.rs, you would edit /usr/OV/app-defaults/Nvevents and change it. That would make it effective for all users. To make it effective for just some, copy the Nvevents app-defaults file to the $HOME directory of those you want to use it.

Our application forwards the traps to netview which carries severity with it and would like to display that severity in netview alarm browser instead of a defined severity in trap settings. In NNM there is way to do is the alarm should contain .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.2.5.0 oid with severity. Can similar things be done in NetView too ?
Thanks,
