Alarm mapping
Alarm mapping enables you to change the severity and text of alarms to adapt them to your business priorities. For example, a loss of the connection to a device is by default a MAJOR alarm but may be critical to you. To change this, add an alarm mapping to change alarms related to connection losses to CRITICAL.
