The event is classified into four levels, critical, major, minor, and warning.
Critical: Indicates that the fault occurs and the service is affected, which requires immediate troubleshooting.
Major: Indicates that the fault occurs and the service affecting condition is developed, which requires in-time troubleshooting.
Minor: Indicates that the fault occurs and the service is temporarily not affected, which requires quick troubleshooting to prevent a more serious fault that affects the service.
Warning: Indicates that the fault that potentially affects the service occurs, which requires further diagnosis (if necessary) to prevent a more serious fault that affects the service.
Cleared: Indicates that the fault is rectified and the device recovers, which requires no operation.
