Defining Global Log Parameters
The System Logs enable you to view significant events in real time and keep a record of these events for later use. This feature provides the ability to log and
manage events and report errors.
Event messages have a unique format, as per the SYSLOG RFC recommended message format for all error reporting; for example, Syslog+ local device
reporting. Messages are assigned a severity code and include a message mnemonic, which identifies the source application generating the message.
Messages are filtered based on their urgency or relevancy. The severity of each message determines the set of event logging devices to which messages are
sent for each event logging device. The following table contains the Log Severity Levels:
Severity Type Severity Level Description
Emergency
0
Alert
1
Critical
2
Error
3
