PerceivedSeverity
An enumerated value that describes the severity
of the Alert Indication from the notifier's point of
view:
Possible values are:
● 2 and 0 — Information and Unknown
(respectively) follow common usage. Literally,
the AlertIndication is purely informational or its
severity is unknown.
● 1 = Other — By CIM convention, is used to
indicate that the Severity's value can be found
in the OtherSeverity property.
● 3 = Degraded/Warning — Is used when it is
appropriate to let the user decide if action is
needed.
● 4 = Minor — Is used to indicate that action is
needed, but the situation is not serious now.
● 5 = Major — Is used to indicate that action is
needed NOW.
● 6 = Critical — Is used to indicate that action is
needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps
an imminent outage to a critical resource
results).
● 7 = Fatal/Non recoverable — Is used to
indicate that an error occurred, but it is too
late to take remedial action.
