Description: This object identifies the perceived alarm severity associated with a service or safety affecting condition and/or event. These are based on ITU severities except that info is added.

cleared - Indicates a previous alarm condition has been cleared. It is not required (unless specifically stated elsewhere on a case by case basis) that an alarm condition that has been cleared will produce a notification or other event containing an alarm severity with this value.

indeterminate - Indicates that the severity level cannot be determined.

critical - Indicates that a service or safety affecting condition has occurred and an immediate corrective action is required.

major - Indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred and an urgent corrective action is required.

minor - Indicates the existence of a non-service affecting condition and that corrective action should be taken in order to prevent a more serious (for example, service or safety affecting) condition.

warning - Indicates the detection of a potential or impending service or safety affecting condition, before any significant effects have been felt.

info - Indicates an alarm condition that does not meet any other severity definition. This can include important, but non-urgent, notices or informational events.
