Rules & Alarms
With every rule you create and action you choose, an Alarm event is automatically created - always.
You can view these instances in All Alarms. If you have many devices and/or many rules, the number of alarm events may be overwhelming.
Severity
By specifying the rules' Severity level you can focus on and distinguish between the urgency of alarms.
You can set the severity level when specifying rules at All rules > General. Here, you can select alarm types that require action (Warning, Minor, Major, Critical). Or, you can choose an alarm type that is Information only and requires no direct follow-up.
For a quick overview of all alarms, you can display alarms of each severity type on a board.
