Understanding Message Reports

All message reports display:
• Timestamp: The date and time the message was logged. This is the timestamp provided by the
device. Syslog Analyzer will provide a timestamp if the device does not send one.
• Device name: The name of the router or switch for which the message was logged.
• Facility-Severity-Mnemonic:
–
Facility is a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software, for example, SYS.
See the Cisco IOS reference manual, System Error Messages, for a predefined list of system
facility codes.
–
Severity is the message severity level, from informational (6) to emergency (0).
–
Mnemonic is a code that uniquely identifies the error message. Note that Catalyst 5000
messages do not display a mnemonic. An example of a mnemonic for an IOS message is
CONFIG I.
