Monitoring Alarm Severities at Run Time

Monitor alarms by severity, expressed as integers 1–4, using clients such as Object Viewer and AVEVA OMI ViewApps. You can monitor individual alarms and you can monitor alarms aggregated by containment level. For more information about aggregating alarm states, see Aggregating Alarm State Information.

Typically, alarm priorities and priority to severity mapping are not changed during run time, but it is possible to change alarm priority configuration and severity mapping without closing the client application.
