Table 10.1: Event Severity Levels
Non-recoverable
Severity icons
For users who are members of the DSView 3 software administrators or auditor user groups, the
non-critical, critical and non-recoverable icons also appear near the right edge of the top navigation
bar in the DSView Explorer window when events of that severity occur. Each icon is accompanied
by a total count of new events of that severity. The counter is decremented when an event of that
severity is deleted from the event log or when an event's state is changed from New to
Acknowledged (see Event states on page 299). The counter is incremented when a new event of
that severity is added to the log or when an event's state is changed from Acknowledged to New.

Email Notifications

The DSView 3 software may be configured to send one or more users an email notification when
an enabled event occurs.
• You may specify which events will trigger an email notification.
• You may also specify one or more unit groups - an email notification will be sent only when a
specified unit-related event occurs on a unit that is a member of the specified unit group(s).
If a specified event that is not tied to a unit occurs (for example, DSView server started), an
email notification will be sent, regardless of the any specified unit groups.
