psad uses the automatic danger level assignments as follows:

- For any non-zero auto danger level, if the current matching scan
exceeds this level then the scan is promoted to the higher level.

- For all zero auto danger levels, any matching scan is ignored.

So, the above makes sense since the auto danger level is 1 but the
scan persisted and exceeded this value.  This is mostly useful if
you want to make sure that certain scan activity is promoted quickly
(for auto-blocking rules for example).

Thanks,
