Setting Severe Alert Warning Behavior
You can control the alert levels you can see on the Alerts top header stats link from the Home > User Info page. The
Severe Alert Threshold determines the severity level that results in a Severe Alert. Specify either Normal, Warning,
Minor, Major, or Critical as the severity alert threshold value. These threshold values are tied to triggers that are created
on the System > Triggers page. For example, if a trigger is defined to result in a Critical alert, and if the Severe Alert
Threshold here is defined as Major, then the list of Severe Alerts will include all Major and Critical alerts. Similarly, if
this value is set to Normal, which is the lowest threshold, then the list of Severe Alerts will include all alerts.
When a Severe Alert exists, a new component named Severe Alerts will appear at the right of the Status field in bold
red font. This field is hidden if there are no Severe Alerts. In addition, only users who are enabled for viewing Severe
Alerts on the Home > User Info page can see severe alerts.
The Severe Alert Threshold drop down menu, located in the Top Header Stats section of the Home > User Info page
is shown in Figure 13.
