You could do the following:
• Set the severity level to critical and major by clicking the Custom button next to the Show
Severity field.
• Type WickedWitch in the Summary Text or Element Name field.
Once you set all of your filters, you would click the Apply Filters button.
Selecting a Severity Level
You can filter the events, so you only view events that are of a specified severity level. For example,
you can specify that Event Manager displays only events with a Critical severity level.
To select a severity level:
1. Select an option from the Show Severity drop-down menu in Event Manager. A dialog box
displays and allows you to select when you want to apply the new filter settings.
2. If you want to apply the new filters immediately, click the Yes button. If you want to apply the
new filter settings later, click the No button.
3. If you clicked the No button in the previous dialog box, click the Apply Filters button. The
definition for each severity level varies according to the type of element.
IMPORTANT: Events marked as “Clear” are not displayed if you select a severity level other than
Clear or All.
