Name |
A unique name. |
Group |
The name of the severity group to which the severity belongs. A group name should describe a general type of condition that NerveCenter can detect; for instance, the two predefined groups are Fault and Traffic, and all the predefined severities belong to one of these groups. You can also define new groups. |
Color |
Each severity has a color associated with it. These severity colors are used in state diagrams to indicate the severity of alarm states. |
Level |
A severity's level is intended to reflect the seriousness of an associated alarm state. That is, an alarm state whose severity has a level of 0 represents a harmless condition, whereas an alarm state whose severity has a high level represents a serious condition. |
Platform name |
The name of a severity used by your network management platform. If NerveCenter informs your platform of a condition, the platform uses the severity defined by this attribute when it displays information about the event. |
