The Billboard

The billboard lets you view up-to-date information about objects whose true (not propagated) severity changes. When an object's severity changes, the billboard displays that object only if it is a child of the billboard's siblings (siblings are objects at the same level in the topology). Siblings are not included because their changes can be seen at the same level as the billboard. In this way, only truly severe objects are contained in the billboard and allowed to bubble up to a particular level, limiting your view to only those objects you need to see. The billboard refreshes with a real-time update of monitored resources just like Dynamic Business Process Views.

You can change the severity level of objects that the billboard contains. By default, the billboard contains critical objects. If you want to set the severity level lower, for example, to minor, objects with severities of minor, major, and critical appear in the billboard.
