How To Use This Chapter
The event log is a first-in, first-out buffer in RAM. Each entry is a single
line composed of five fields:
severity
date time object event message
I 08/05/94 10:52:13 cct.wan1: ’WAN1 - carrier lost’
The event log messages listed in this chapter are organized
alphabetically within subsections corresponding to the objects from
which the messages are generated. The object name for each message
appears immediately after the time stamp included in the message. For
example, the object generating the above message is cct. (The ‘‘.wan1’’ is
further information describing, in this case, the specific circuit being
reported in this message.)
severity
is one of the following codes:
D (debug) indicates installation and diagnostic information.
I (information) indicates routine events.
W (warning) indicates that a service has behaved unexpectedly.
P (performance) indicates that a current service has degraded or
upgraded.
