3.2.3 Severity
The severity code classifies the importance of an alert. The range is from 0
(Failure) to 7 (Information). The lower the importance of an error the higher the
severity code value. That means a severity code of 0 is very important and
immediate action should be taken as response to the alert. The severity code 7
is used for information and no action has to be taken.
The severity code is one of the alert attributes used to classify and filter alert
messages. This attribute is also used to define forwarding profiles.
