Alert types come with default priorities, which affect how sensitive the system is to generating alerts of this type. Alerts default to low or normal priority, based on Cisco intelligence and other factors. Based on your network environment, you may want to reprioritize alert types, to emphasize certain alerts that you are concerned with. You can configure any alert type to be low, normal, or high priority.
