Alarm Severity The severity of any alarm or event can be configured as “critical,”
“major,” “minor,” “warning,” or “record only.”

failure of important circuits. These troubles require the immediate
attention and response of the technician to restore or maintain system
capability. The urgency is less than in critical situations because of a
lesser immediate or impending effect on service or system performance.
(See BellCore TR-TSY-000474.)
Minor Alarms are used for troubles that do not have a serious effect on
service to the customers or for troubles in circuits that are not essential
to operation. (See BellCore TR-TSY-000474.)
Warnings are used to indicate an incomplete or inconsistent
configuration in the controller. The configuration problem may disable
any associated controller feature. Any measurements associated with
the warning is not valid while the warning is present.
Record Only Events are used to designate non-service affecting
conditions that are placed in the alarm logs. Any form of alarm
notification (dial-out, alarm contact relays, LEDs, TL1 notification)
may also be configured for the event.
There are two meanings for “service affecting.” One is that the failure
affects a service that was being provided when the failure occurred. The
other is that the failure will affect the ability of the network to provide
