MONITORING

Setting the event severity and suppression time settings
Use this procedure to assign an event severity to an event, or to specify a new event suppression time on the Server Addin Task Event document. Event severity levels are listed and explained in this table:
Severity levelMeaning

Warning (low)Performance degradation
NormalStatus messages
Event handlers can be created at your discretion, and they take action when specific events occur. Suppression time is used to limit the frequency of how often an event handler runs. After an event occurs and its associated event handler runs, if the event occurs again, the event handler does not run until after the suppression time expires. An event handler defines the action that IBM® Lotus® Domino™ takes when a specific event occurs.
