This read-write enumerated value (informational, infoWithAlert, repaired, caution, critical) reports the severity of this event log entry, and a caution or critical entry's severity can be lowered by setting it to repaired. An admin uses the repaired value to acknowledge that a previously caution or critical event has since been fixed, downgrading it in the log without deleting the record. After replacing a failed component that generated a critical entry, the admin sets its severity to repaired to reflect the fix while keeping the history.
