Remarks

Severity values are displayed using text descriptions, such as Service Unavailable or Success, in the MOM Operator console or the Web console. The severity for active alerts will also determine the state and color of the server in the Operations console. The server will be Yellow if the alert severity is 30 or 40. The server will be Red if the alert severity is 50, 60 or 70.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a new alert and set the Severity property to 50.

Function CreateNewAlert()
    Dim objCreatedAlert
    Dim objAlert

    Set objCreatedAlert = ScriptContext.CreateAlert()

    If (ScriptContext.IsAlert()) Then
        Set objAlert = ScriptContext.Alert

        objCreatedAlert.Name = objAlert.Name
        objCreatedAlert.AlertLevel = 50
        objCreatedAlert.Owner = "[unassigned]"
        objCreatedAlert.ResolutionState = 0  ' New
    Else
        Set objCreatedAlert = Nothing
