Understanding the concepts about events helps you to manage your clusters and cluster objects
efficiently and to define alerts appropriately.

Event state definitions
The state of an event helps you identify whether an appropriate corrective action is required. An event can be New, Acknowledged, Resolved, or Obsolete.
Description of event severity types
Each event is associated with a severity type to help you prioritize the events that require immediate corrective action.
Description of event impact levels
Each event is associated with an impact level (Incident, Risk, or Event) to help you prioritize the events that require immediate corrective action.
Description of event impact areas
Events are categorized into five impact areas (availability, capacity, configuration, performance, and protection) to enable you to concentrate on the types of events for which you are responsible.
How object status is computed
Object status is determined by the most severe event that currently holds a New or Acknowledged state. For example, if an object status is Error, then one of the object's events has a severity type of Error. When corrective action has been taken, the event state moves to Resolved.
List of events and severity types
You can use the list of events to become more familiar with event categories, event names, and the severity type of each event that you might see in OnCommand Unified Manager. Events are listed in alphabetical order by object category.
