Monitor alarm severities at runtime

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 Aggregated alarm state information . Severity 5 alarms are shown in the OMI Alarm App and InTouch Alarm Client, but are not aggregated.

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