Certain monitors can map directly to OPC severity levels. This is not
available with all monitors. Select Map from value option from the list
in the Severity area.

• ITO application group: EMS (HP)
• message group: HA
• object: to the full path of the resource being monitored
See HP OpenView IT/Operations Administrators Task Guide (Part
Number B4249-90003) for more information.
Templates for configuring IT/O and Network Node Manager to display
monitored events can be found on the Hewlett-Packard Webpage at
