9-4-6 Setting a Severity Level
You can assign a severity level to a threshold. The user can define behavior for each level of severity. You can
select the severity level using the Severity drop-down box on the Thresholds tab page in the Groups and
Thresholds Configuration dialog box. You can set the severity as Severe, High, Medium, or Low.

9-4-7 Adding a Threshold to a Group
You can add a threshold to an existing group. To include a threshold as a member of a group or to switch
membership from one group to another, use the Group drop-down box on the Thresholds tab page in the Groups
and Thresholds Configuration dialog box.
To cancel group membership, select None from the Group list.
9-4-8 Creating an Alarm Message
When a threshold condition occurs, OVNPM sends notification in the form of a message.
To specify the text of the message, select the threshold in the Groups and Thresholds Configuration dialog box
and type the message in the Message box.
If you select more than one threshold, the Message box changes to a Message button. Click on the Message
button and type your message in the displayed dialog box. You can use any combination of characters.

You may want to develop a standard format for your messages. For example, the message below uses the form
of a standard prefix, the identity of the unit involved, and the metric:
