    Reorder the severity levels? WARNING > AVERAGE

    In Zabbix, it seems that AVERAGE is a higher severity level than WARNING. This seems very unintuitive. AVERAGE by definition would be a "normal" state of something (an average across all data points).
    I get a WARNING when my filesystem is above 80%, but I get an AVERAGE when it is above 90%.

    Is there any way to reorder the severity levels to NON CLASSIFIED < INFORMATIONAL < AVERAGE < WARNING < HIGH < DISASTER?

    I realize this would not fix the problem exactly, I would still get
    AVERAGE when FS is > 80
    WARNING when FS is > 90

    But at least it's a little more intuitive that I am being WARNED that there is a problem. I would then have to go an re-classify the thresholds that are AVERAGE to become WARNING and WARNING thresholds to become CRITICAL.
    Thanks!

      I was aware of that section, but I assumed that it was only for the alert labels in the Problems page, and not everywhere. I tested it and can confirm that when I changed Warning -> Warning2, it not only changed the labels in Problems, but ALSO the Severity level labels under Triggers too.
      Thanks!
