The next section of the dxa file defines the category and severity associated with each of the subscribed events.

The syntax is:

         sev
         <Class_Name>
         <Problem_Event_Name>
         <category>
         <severity_code>
      

where <severity_code> can have one of the following values:

• 1 = red, critical.

• 2 = orange, major.

• 3 - yellow, minor.

• 4 = cyan, unknown.

• 5 = green, normal.

  The VMware Smart Assurance IP Performance Manager and Server Performance Manager User Guide and VMware Smart Assurance IP Availability Manager User Guide provide additional information concerning the valid values for <category>.

  To set the category and severity of an event that you have created, add a new line to this section. For example, to define the severity and category for the new IPForwardingOn event, add the following line:

  sev  Host    IPForwardingOn       Operational 3
