High priority messages and actions
Message storms are exceptional situations which can lead to disruption in your environment. It is important that the notification message generated by the message storm detection mechanism be sent immediately to the management consoles and that the automatic action assigned to it be executed without any delay. The management server achieves this by using high priority messages, which have the following characteristics:
- They are generated and sent directly by the management server, without involving the agent.
- They are not placed into the message queue but are sent immediately.
- Automatic actions assigned to high priority messages are treated as emergency actions and are executed immediately without involving the agent. Consequently, the agent on the management server does not have to run to handle high priority messages and actions.
- High priority messages cannot be created by policies.
NOTE:High priority messages do not automatically have Critical severity. Their severity can be defined by using the values "Severity of the message storm begin message" and "Severity of the message storm end message".
