Severity levels
This parameter defines five severity levels for an alarm and can be set in the alarm mask
(detailed description in the software manual). The severity levels indicate how the capability
of the managed object has been affected.
The levels are described below and are ordered from most severe to least severe:
- Critical:
The critical severity level indicates that a service affecting condition has
occurred and an immediate corrective action is required to restore the
capability of the managed object.
- Major:
The major severity level indicates that a service affecting condition has
developed and an urgent corrective action is required. Such a severity can be
reported, for example, when there is a severe degradation in the capability of
the managed object and its full capability must be restored.
- Minor:
The minor severity level indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault
condition and that corrective actions should be taken in order to prevent a more
serious failure. Such a severity can be reported, for example, when the detected
alarm condition is not currently degrading the capability of the managed object.
