Where Customized Event Severity Is Displayed

When you customize event severity, it is reflected in all notifications—e-mail, SNMP traps, and syslog. Operations Manager uses only the event severity levels in the following table.

Table 14-3	Event Severity Levels and Values that Operations Manager Uses
		Value that	Value That Operations Manager Writes to
			Notifications
		Operations Manager
Severity Level		Defines	E-Mail and SNMP Traps	Syslog Messages
Critical		0	0	2
Warning		1	1	4
Informational		2	2	6

You can specify a customized event severity level between 0 and 7. When generating traps, the severity level you specify for the event is stored in the CISCO-EPM-NOTIFICATION-MIB and is sent in all notifications.

Note When you customize event severity, Operations Manager continues to process the event based on its default severity. Also, severity levels 3 through 7 are undefined in Operations Manager.

You can quickly and easily restore the default name and severity for any and all events.

Customizing Event Description and Severity

Note Default event names are displayed on the Event Customization page. For default event severity, locate the event in Events Processed, page D-1.

Step 1 Select Notifications > Event Customization. The Event Customization page appears, displaying the information shown in the following table.

GUI Element	Description/Action
