MANAGING SYSTEM LOGS
This section provides information for managing system logs. The system
logs enable viewing device events in real time, and recording the events
for later usage. System Logs record and manage events and report errors
and informational messages. Event messages have a unique format, as
per the Syslog protocols recommended message format for all error
reporting. For example, Syslog and local device reporting messages are
assigned a severity code, and include a message mnemonic, which
identifies the source application generating the message. It allows
messages to be filtered based on their urgency or relevancy. Each
message severity determines the set of event logging devices that are
sent per each event message.
The following table lists the log severity levels:
