Documentation

Definition

Severity is a measure of the importance of a monitoring attribute or of the component (monitoring object) to which an attribute belongs.

The severity is used to rank alerts that have the same importance. Among red alerts, the red alert that has the highest severity receives the highest ranking and is displayed in the alert monitor as the most important alert.

Severity is measured with a scale from 0 (not important) to 255 (very important).

Example: A monitoring attribute pertaining to the enqueue or update systems in the SAP system should have a high severity, as these are critical components. An attribute for "number of users on a server" should have a lower severity, as it is not as crucial to the continued operation of the system.
