LABEL DESCRIPTION
Level Select the severity level(s) of the log events you want to find. The possible severity
levels are:
Error - to search 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 search non critical errors on the switch. The switch will continue to
function when warnings are recorded.
Info - to search regular system events, such as configuration changes or logins.
Debug - to search 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 Select All to search all categories or specify the individual categories you want to
search.
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.
