SEVERITY is a single-digit code from 0 to 7 that reflects the severity of the condition. The lower the number, the more serious the situation. Table 2 lists the message severity levels.

MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the message.

Table 2. Message Severity Levels .

Severity Level

Description

 

 

 

0

– emergency

System is unusable.

 

 

 

1

– alert

Immediate action required.

 

 

 

2

– critical

Critical condition.

 

 

 

3

– error

Error condition.

 

 

 

4

– warning

Warning condition.

 

 

 

5

– notification

Normal but significant condition.

 

 

 

6

– informational

Informational message only.

 

 

 

7

– debugging

Message that appears during debugging only.

 

 

 

Message-text is a text string describing the condition. This portion of the message sometimes contains detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the information in these variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec]. Table 3 lists the variable fields in messages.
