LABEL DESCRIPTION

No. This is the number of the log entry. The log entries with the lowest numerical value
are the most recent.
Index This field indicates the index number of the log. This number doesn’t change even if
some logs are deleted from the switch due to memory limits. The index number
increments by one for each recorded event. The largest number represents the most
recent log event.
Level This field displays the severity level of the log event. The possible severity levels are:
• Error - to record system failures, such as events which will cause the switch to
malfunction and events such as invalid user input in the web configurator.
• Warning - to record non critical errors on the switch. The switch will continue to
function when warnings are recorded.
• Info - to record regular system events, such as configuration changes or logins.
• Debug - to record events which can be helpful for engineering debugging of the
switch’s function. This field is not recommended to track as it creates many
messages not helpful to typical users.
Category This field displays what category the log entry fits. The categories are based on
software and hardware features of the switch. For example the category AUTODOS
records events which deal with the Auto Denial of Service features you set up and
the category SYSTEM records events which deal with the overall operation of the
switch.
Time This field specifies the time when the switch recorded the log event. The switch
resets its internal clock when it is restarted.
Message This field displays an explanation for the log entry.
