opEvents uses its own set of numeric priorities for events. As events generally originate from external sources with their own priority concepts, a bit of translation is required. The following table describes the mappings between event priorities in opEvents and related services: how syslog and email messages sent by opEvents are marked, and how events sourced from NMIS are classified.
Priority | Priority Name | Syslog | NMIS Level | Email Priority |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | debug | debug | n/a | low |
1 | info | info | n/a | log |
2 | normal | notice | Normal | low |
3 | warning | warning | Warning | normal |
4 | warning | n/a | normal | |
5 | minor | error | Minor | normal |
6 | major | critical | Major | high |
7 | critical | alert | Critical | high |
8 | fatal | emergency | Fatal | high |
9 | emergency | n/a | high | |
10 | catastrophic | emergency | n/a | high |
