Thanks. One other question-I don't seem to see a way to configure a ruleset
for an event where a node is no longer reachable ( meaning its down ). In
that case I would want to have that event paging someone with the
information. Also I have only an numeric pager but when looking at the
"Pager Action Node" template it seems to want to send an alphanumeric
message. Is there a way to send a numeric page via the "Pager Action Node"?
Thanks again.

They are whatever you want them to be.  Basically severity levels offer you,
the
user, a way to segregate and color code the events you see to make them more
manageable.  You can change them however you want them.  The colors are
matched
in /usr/OV/app-defaults/Nvevents.  You can change that for system-wide
effect,
or copy that file into your $HOME directory and it will affect only your
event
windows.

Would anyone like to share what the meanings are for the event dialog box
configurations : the selections are cleared, intermediate, warning, minor,
critical, major. The last three seem reasonable but what is cleared and
intermediate severity?

Thanks,
Dave
