Alarm Severity

Introduction

Severity levels in alerts indicate the criticality associated with alarms. Severity levels can be low, medium, or high as shown in the following image

Important

By default, an alarm will be created with the "Low" value. If an alert is created with a severity level of "High", for example, and that alert is subsequently triggered, the alarm history report will retain the severity level with which it was created, even if the severity level was later modified through the alert management screen.
