Event Filter Builder window: Severity page

Identifies the severity of the event. Event severity is typically used in event automation plans because it identifies potentially urgent problems requiring immediate attention.

Fields

Any
Specifies whether you want to filter on specific event severities. By default, Any is selected. You must clear the Any check box to select one or more severity levels. You can select multiple levels of severity as filtering criteria. The logical OR operator 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.
When selecting event severities, consider the following definitions.
Note: The following event severity level fields are listed in the order of most severe to least severe.
Fatal
The source of the event has already caused the program to fail and should be resolved before the program is restarted.
Critical
The source of the event might cause program failure and should be resolved immediately.
Minor
The source of the event should not cause immediate program failure, but should be resolved.
Warning
The source of the event is not necessarily problematic, but might warrant investigation.
Informational
The event was generated for information only. Most events of this severity do not indicate potential problems. However, offline events are categorized as informational, and these events can indicate potential problems.
Unknown
The application that generated the event did not assign a severity level.
