The Severity area options for SNMP traps are:

• Map from value (this is not available with all monitors)

• Critical

• Major

• Minor

• Warning

• Normal

A specified severity other than Normal is returned under the following

conditions:

• When value is . . .: If this notification option is set, a

non-normal severity occurs when the value changes from FALSE to

TRUE.

For example, if a disk is being monitored, you want notification when

the disk is down. The When value is condition is FALSE while the

disk is up and running correctly. The condition becomes TRUE,

meaning action needs to be taken, when the disk is down or not

operating correctly.
