Critical
Abnormal events of a more serious nature that may require quicker action,
such as the failure of a scheduled task or loss of communication
Non-recoverable
Severe abnormal events impacting your DSView 3 management software
session and requires immediate corrective action.
Severity icons
For users who are members of the DSView 3 software administrators or auditor user groups, the
non-critical, critical and non-recoverable icons also appear near the right edge of the top
navigation bar in the DSView Explorer window when events of that severity occur. Each icon
is accompanied by a total count of new events of that severity. The counter is decremented
when an event of that severity is deleted from the event log or when an event’s state is changed
from New to Acknowledged (see Event states on page 394). The counter is incremented when a
new event of that severity is added to the log or when an event’s state is changed from
Acknowledged to New.
