| If you add a new class of supported hardware resource to your system, any monitoring requests | ||
| that apply to All monitors are used for the new hardware, ensuring that your hardware is | ||

| For hardware monitoring to recognize new devices, the new devices must be properly added | ||

Criteria |
| This value identifies the severity level used in conjunction with the |
|
Thresholds |
| criteria operator to generate an event message. See Table |
|
|
| page 48, for an explanation of severity levels. |

|
Criteria |
| This value identifies the arithmetic operator used with the criteria |
|
Operators |
| threshold to control what events are reported. Valid operators are: |
|
|
| < (less than) |
|
|
| <= (less than or equal to) |
|
|
| > (greater than) |
|
|
| >= (greater than or equal than) |
|
|
| ! (not equal to) |
|
|
| Operators treat each severity level as a numeric value assigned as |
|
|
| follows: |
|
|
| Critical = 5 |
|
|
| Serious = 4 |
|
|
| Major warning = 3 |
|
|
| Minor warning = 2 |
|
|
| Informational = 1 |
|
|
| The criteria operators allow you to direct events of several severity |
|
|
| levels using the same notification method. For example, to direct both |
|
|
| Serious and Critical events using the same method, you would use a |
|
|
| condition of >= Serious. |
