How to replace severity values by respective levels?

Hello,
In the events, the severity is captured as values between 1 to 10. I want to represent them as High, Low, Medium etc.

For example,
if the severity is between 1 and 3  as Low
if the severity is between 4 and 5  as Medium, and so on

Please advise on how to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

Use an eval with the case function to map severity numbers to names.

| eval severity = case(severity>=1 AND severity<=3,"Low",
                       severity>=4 AND severity<=5,"Medium",
                       severity>5,"High")
