This tab manages basics for Event Definitions.
It has the following fields:
Event Name —A text identifier for the event.
Notification OID —The object ID.
MIB Name —The MIB with which this event is associated.
Severity —The severity of any associated alarm. If a new alarm is a clearing severity, then it closes
any existing alarm to which it correlates. Otherwise, if a new alarm severity does not match
the existing severity then the existing alarm is closed and a new alarm opened for the new
severity.
