[Manage Thresholds and Events](/performanceguard/administration/manage-thresholds-and-events/) all have a severity level set by the PerformanceGuard administrator.  
The severity levels in PerformanceGuard are predefined as follows:

| **Severity**                                                       | **Description**                                                         |
