Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface

When you log into a switch through Telnet, the command line interface automatically displays the alarm history. You can use the Show Alarm or Show Log command to display the alarm history at any time. New alarm messages are displayed in the command stream as they occur. Refer to the Installation Guide for your switch for more information about the Show Log command.

In the command line interface, each message has the following format:

[ordinal][time_stamp][severity][source][message_ID][message_text]

[ordinal] – A number assigned to each message in sequence since that last time the alarm history was cleared.

[time_stamp] – The time the alarm was issued in the format day-month-hh:mm:ss:ms-yyyy. This time stamp comes from the switch for events that originate with the switch, and from the workstation for events that originate from Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007.

[severity] – The event severity: A–Alarm, C–Critical, W–Warning, I–Informative.

[source] – The program module or application that generated the event. Sources include Zoning, Switch, PortApp, EPort, Management Server. Alarms do not include the source.

[message_ID] – A number that identifies the message using the following format: category.message_number

[message_text] – The alarm message text

Consider the following Informative level event example from the Switch source:

[1][Wed May 26 12:30:29.965 UTC 2004][I][8400.0022][Switch][Successful login user (snmp@IB-session6) with admin privilege]
