So when I set up the Send E-mail alarm action for Communication Status I can see that under Severities the following boxes are checked: Information, Warning, Error, Critical, Failure. Naturally, I thought would get an email if the condition was met. However, when I look at Communication Status Thresholds under Severitiy only failure is noted. Is there another area that I need to select so I get emails for the following condition's Information, Warning, Error, Critical, Failure?

Hi John!
Checked severities in E-mail settings allows you to filter desired alerts for this actions. It configures what kind of alerts you will be notified. So you can create one e-mail action to send only critical alerts and another one to send all alerts to users.
Severity under threshold settings means how critical this alert for your environment. You
can decide that communication lost for one device is not important and set Information severity for one device and set Warning for another.
So if don't get warning e-mails, probably your alert thresholds are not configured to warnings, but to critical. So you should check threshold settings.
