Event messages originate from the switch or from the management application in
response to events that occur in the fabric. Refer to the SANbox Fibre Channel
Switch Event Message Guide for a complete listing of switch event messages.
Events are classified by the following severity levels:
Alarm–The alarm level describes events that are disruptive to the
administration or operation of a fabric and require administrator intervention.
Alarms are always logged and always displayed on the screen. Alarm
thresholds can be defined for certain port errors to customize when to
generate an alarm.
Critical–The critical level describes events that are generally disruptive to
the administration or operation of the fabric, but require no action.
Warning–The warning level describes events that are generally not
disruptive to the administration or operation of the fabric, but are more
important than the informative level events.
Informative–The informative level describes routine events associated with a
normal fabric.
