Setting the Alarm Severity
Context
The system defines default alarm severity for each alarm. Users can change the alarm severity. When receiving alarms reported by a device, the NMS can configure filtering rules to display only alarms of a specified severity.
As defined in X.733, alarms are classified into six severities, as described in Table 10-1. A smaller value indicates a higher severity.
Value |
Severity |
Description |
|---|---|---|
1 |
Critical |
Indicates that a fault affecting services has occurred and it must be rectified immediately. |
2 |
Major |
Indicates that services are being affected and related measures need to be taken urgently. |
3 |
Minor |
Indicates that a fault occurs but does not affect services. To avoid a minor alarm from getting severer, related measures must be immediately taken. |
4 |
Warning |
Indicates that a potential or impending service-affecting fault is detected before any significant effects have been felt. Take corrective actions to diagnose and rectify the fault. |
5 |
Indeterminate |
Indicates that the severity of an alarm cannot be determined. |
6 |
Cleared |
Indicates that one or more previous alarms have been cleared. |
