Event Filter Builder window: Severity page
This topic describes the Event Filter Builder window: Severity
page in IBM Director.
Explanation
Identifies the urgency of the event. Severity
is typically used in action plans because it identifies potentially urgent
problems requiring immediate attention.
You can select multiple levels of
severity as filtering criteria. Logical OR applies for multiple selections.
For
example, if you select Fatal and Critical,
the filtering criteria matches if the originator of the event classifies the
event as Fatal or as Critical.
Severity
levels in the order of most severe to least severe are:
- Fatal
- The application that issued the event has assigned a severity level indicating
that the source of the event has already caused the program to fail and should
be resolved before the program is restarted.
- Critical
- The application that issued the event has assigned a severity level indicating
that the source of the event may cause program failure and should be resolved
immediately.
- Minor
- The application that issued the event has assigned a severity
level indicating that the source of the event should not cause immediate program
failure, but should be resolved.
- Warning
- The application that issued the event has assigned a severity level indicating
that the source of the event is not necessarily problematic, but may warrant
investigation.
- Harmless
- The application that issued the event has assigned a severity level indicating
that the event is for information only; no potential problems should occur.
- Unknown
- The application that generated the event did not assign a severity level.
