fixme describe: mappings from event priorities to names, syslog severities and nmis levelsopEvents uses its own set of numeric priorities for events. As events generally originate from external sources with their own priority concepts, a bit of translation is required. The following table describes the mappings between event priorities in opEvents and related services: how syslog and email messages sent by opEvents are marked, and how events sourced from NMIS are classified.
| Priority | Priority Name | Syslog | NMIS Level | Email Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | debug | debug | n/a | low |
| 1 | info | info | n/a | log |
| 2 | normal | notice | Normal | low |
| 3 | warning | warning | Warning | normal |
| 4 | warning | n/a | normal | |
| 5 | minor | error | Minor | normal |
| 6 | major | critical | Major | high |
| 7 | critical | alert | Critical | high |
| 8 | fatal | emergency | Fatal | high |
| 9 | emergency | n/a | high | |
| 10 | catastrophic | emergency | n/a | high |
