Documentation

The criticality of an attribute/alert. The criticality is used to rank alerts. A red alert is always more important than a yellow alert.

Criticality meanings: "Green" indicates "situation normal and ok." Yellow warns of a potentially problematic condition. Red indicates that a failure/error/significant problem has occurred.

The criticality is assigned by the data supplier that created a monitoring attribute or by the user who has customized and saved the properties of the attribute.

For performance attributes, the criticality is determined by the alert thresholds of the attribute.

For status message and log attributes, the criticality is associated with each message that is reported. Typically, message criticalities are stored in the component that issues the messages. These criticalities may be changed by customizing settings in the alert monitor.

For developers, the constants for permissible alert values are as follows:

  • AL_VAL_INAKTIV: White MTE, no data is being reported. Integer value 0.
  • AL_VAL_GREEN: Green MTE, no alert is generated. Integer value 1.
  • AL_VAL_YELLOW: Yellow MTE, yellow alert is generated. Integer value 2.
  • AL_VAL_RED: Red MTE, highest possible alert, red alert is generated. Integer value 3.

The constants are declared in the ABAP member RSALEXTI.
