An enumerated value that describes the severity of the Indication from the notifier\'s point of view: 
1 - Other, by CIM convention, is used to indicate that the Severity\'s value can be found in the OtherSeverity property. 
3 - Degraded/Warning should be used when its appropriate to let the user decide if action is needed. 
4 - Minor should be used to indicate action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time. 
5 - Major should be used to indicate action is needed NOW. 
6 - Critical should be used to indicate action is needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps an imminent outage to a critical resource will result). 
7 - Fatal/NonRecoverable should be used to indicate an error occurred, but it\'s too late to take remedial action. 
2 and 0 - Information and Unknown (respectively) follow common usage. Literally, the Indication is purely informational or its severity is simply unknown.
