Severity Levels

The Management Command Center displays the current, real-time status of any managed object. If a managed object experiences a problem, its visual appearance in the Management Command Center changes.

CA NSM uses the severity level value to change the state of an object. The severity value is a number from 0 to 9, indicating one of the ten predefined severities provided with WorldView. The severity level value of an object at any given time is assigned using policy that you define. The severity of a managed object determines its appearance in the Management Command Center.

Using the Status Color Schemes Editor, you can override the default colors that are used to show an object's severity. This feature lets you customize the appearance of Management Command Center objects and lets you better visualize your network.
