Trigger Severity

CA DataMinder can group policy triggers into bands based on their severity scores. By default, the severity bands are Low, Medium or High. For example, you may want to assign a high severity score to a trigger that detects serious violations of corporate rules.

CA DataMinder uses the following thresholds to assign triggers to severity bands:

• Not specified, or zero: No Severity
• Low Severity: 1-100
• Medium Severity: 101-200
• High Severity: 201 or greater

When one or more triggers activate, the highest severity score is saved with the resulting event. You can then search for events by severity in the iConsole or Data Management console.

To assign a severity score to a control trigger

1. In the User Policy Editor, select the control trigger you want to configure.
2. Expand the trigger folder, then right-click the Severity setting and choose Properties.
3. In the Severity Properties dialog, enter a severity score for this trigger. This must be a whole number and greater than 0.
4. Save the policy changes.
