Component status is indicated by the severity. A component with a Warning or Critical/Failure status requires immediate attention to avoid data loss, if possible. The status of the component indicates the combined status of the components and its lower-level objects.

It may be useful to review the Alert Log for events indicating why a component has a Warning or Critical status.

Table 1. Component Severity

	Warning/Non-critical — A probe or other monitoring device has detected a reading for the component that is above or below the acceptable level. The component may still be functioning, but it could fail. The component may also be functioning in an impaired state. Data loss is possible.
	Critical/Failure/Error/Fatal — The component has either failed or failure is imminent. The component requires immediate attention and may need to be replaced. Data loss may have occurred.
