Device Severities: The Intelligence Behind Smart Network Alerting

Severities Engine Keeps Critical Systems Running

Power your events and alerts with business-aware priority classification using the foundational severity engine that ensures your alerting system knows what matters most to your operations.

The Challenge

Without Severity Levels, Every Alert Feels Urgent

Without proper severity assignment, even the best alerting systems create chaos. Your Events & Alerts engine is only as effective as the severity data driving it, and random priority assignment can cause critical infrastructure failures to be treated like routine maintenance while minor issues trigger emergency escalations that overwhelm and burn out your teams.

The impact

Inconsistent Priorities

Manual severity assignment creates unpredictable response patterns

  • Track services, properties, and interfaces independently

    Component-Level Monitoring

    EyeOTmonitor applies severity states at the component level, from service protocols like ping and SNMP to device properties and interfaces. Each is monitored separately, giving teams precise insight into where problems originate.

  • Adapt severity states to your environment

    Customizable Rules and Thresholds

    Default severity rules are provided for every supported device type but can be tailored to your needs. Teams can adjust thresholds, durations, and rule logic to define exactly what constitutes normal, warning, severe, or critical for each property.

  • Severities drive visibility and response

    Integrated Visual and Alerting System

    Severity states update icons, colors, and frames in real time across maps and device trees. They also feed directly into the Events and Alerts system, ensuring classification is consistent and every escalation is based on real device health.

  • Optimize Alert Filtering and Correlation

    Smart severity data helps your Events & Alerts engine filter noise and correlate related events effectively. High-priority events cut through alert storms while low-priority notifications group efficiently.
