Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

Severity profiles

OS10 allows you to change the severity of events using severity profiles. A severity profile is a .xml file that defines the effective severity of events or disables the notification of events.

OS10 comes with a default severity profile. You cannot modify or delete the default profile. However, OS10 allows you to define custom severity profiles.

• Default severity profile—All events are defined in the default profile. The default profile classifies the events as CRITICAL, WARNING, or INFORMATIONAL in severity.

• Custom severity profile—Contains events that you modify. You can classify events as CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, WARNING, or INFORMATIONAL in severity.

Events and their characteristics that are defined in the custom profile take precedence over the default profile.

To create a custom severity profile, copy the default severity profile to a remote host and modify it. After the custom profile is created, copy it from the remote host to the OS10 switch and apply it. The custom profile takes effect after a system restart.

The severity-profile:// partition contains all the defined severity profiles. To view a list of severity profiles, use the dir severity-profile command.

To delete a severity profile, use the delete command. You can delete all severity profiles except the default and active profiles.
