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.

Subject:  Severity Level For Events




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
