4 Trigger severity
Trigger severity defines how important a trigger is. Zabbix supports the following trigger severities:
| SEVERITY | DEFINITION | COLOUR |
|---|---|---|
| Not classified | Unknown severity. | Grey |
| Information | For information purposes. | Light green |
| Warning | Be warned. | Yellow |
| Average | Average problem. | Orange |
| High | Something important has happened. | Red |
| Disaster | Disaster. Financial losses, etc. | Bright red |
The severities are used for:
- visual representation of triggers. Different colours for different severities.
- audio in global alarms. Different audio for different severities.
- user media. Different media (notification channel) for different severities. For example, SMS - high severity, email - other.
- limiting actions by conditions against trigger severities
It is possible to customise trigger severity names and colours.
