3. If it changed to green instead of red, either connectivity was re-established while you were creating the Event Parser, or
you accidentally selected Clear on the Severity Output-String where you meant to select Critical.
4. If it goes to Orange, you misspelled the Message text, you selected Major instead of Critical, or you misspelled the type
name.
Note: A critical event will also be generated for the network to which the failed device belongs.
9.4.5.8 Delete the Event Parser (if non-default behavior no longer needed)
To delete the new Event Parser (and return to the default behavior), go back to the Event Parser Configuration window,
select the parser you added, click on Delete Event Parser, Apply, and then Close.
Note: As mentioned in 9.4.1, there are a number of pre configured event parsers already defined by AlliedView
NMS. If you delete any of those you may degrade or destroy existing NMS functionality.
