4.2.4 Severe events filter
The severe events filter displays, on the Severe Events page, only the JP1 events that possibly need handling and highly affect the system (from among the JP1 events to be monitored by JP1/IM).
Only one such filter can be set on each manager. Because the filter settings are managed on the manager, the same severe events filter is applied to all viewers that connect to that manager.
Some JP1 events, such as emergency notices and error reports, require an immediate response from the operator. In JP1/IM, such JP1 events are known as severe events.
The Severe Events page of the Event Console window is specifically for managing severe events.
When a severe event occurs, the alarm lamp flashes in JP1/IM - View to notify the user. You can manage the response status of severe events on the Severe Events page.
Events whose event level is Emergency, Alert, Critical, or Error are defined as severe events in the default severe events filter.
By customizing the default filter, you can select the event levels you want to define as severe events. You can also exclude specific JP1 events that are normally classed as severe events by specifying the event ID or other attribute.
The severe events filter resides in JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/IM - View. JP1 events are judged by the severe events filter in JP1/IM - Manager, and the filtered JP1 events are displayed in JP1/IM - View. The server events filter can be set from JP1/IM - View. They affect the Severe Events page of the Event Console window.
