An event tells you that something has changed or happened in your managed network. They are generated from a number of different inputs, such as polled information, SNMP Traps, and Syslog messages.
- For example, if a certain port utilization exceeds its predetermined threshold, Entuity will raise a Port Utilization High Event.
Every event has a severity level. You are able to configure severity levels for each event. Incidents inherit the highest severity level from the currently raised event.
- For example, if an event has a severity level of Major, then the incident that it raises will have a severity level of Major. If that incident is then updated by an event with a severity level of Critical, that incident then inherits the Critical severity level.
Event severity levels are as follows:
| Display Severity and Color | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 - Green | Information or Cleared |
| 2 - Yellow | Minor |
| 3 - Amber | Major |
| 4 - Orange | Severe |
| 5 - Red | Critical |
The Entuity event management system comes with out-of-the-box parameters for over 350 events.
