What is an event?
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, ENA 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 |
|---|---|
 Green |
Information or Cleared |
 Yellow |
Minor |
 Amber |
Major |
 Orange |
Severe |
 Red |
Critical |
The ENA event management system comes with out-of-the-box parameters for over 350 events. Please see this article for details of the events in ENA.
