describe_severity_levels

describe_severity_levels(**kwargs)

Returns the list of severity levels that you can assign to a support case. The severity level for a case is also a field in the CaseDetails data type that you include for a CreateCase request.

• You must have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan to use the Amazon Web Services Support API.
• If you call the Amazon Web Services Support API from an account that doesn't have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan, the SubscriptionRequiredException error message appears. For information about changing your support plan, see Amazon Web Services Support.

        Note

        The values returned by the API are different from the values that appear in the Amazon Web Services Support Center. For example, the API uses the code low , but the name appears as General guidance in Support Center.

        • low - General guidance
        • normal - System impaired
        • high - Production system impaired
        • urgent - Production system down
        • critical - Business-critical system down
