The event is providing a warning.

The event is providing information.

The severity of the event is not known.

The triangle corresponding to the highest severity is shown. For example, the management server displays an icon for a critical event next to an element that might also have minor events.

Since the severity level for an element is set by the manufacturer, the meanings of the severity levels vary. It is best to view the description of the event.

Use the Severity drop-down menu to filter which type of events you want to view. It displays the severity icons with the selected severity level or higher. For example, you can be notified of just

critical and major events by selecting Major from the Severity drop-down menu and clicking the button.

See the following table for a description of each severity level.
