SMC Networks SMC2552W-G2-17 manual Error Level Description

Advanced Configuration 6

Logging Level – Sets the minimum severity level for event logging. (Default: Informational)

The system allows you to limit the messages that are logged by specifying a minimum severity level. The following table lists the error message levels from the most severe (Emergency) to least severe (Debug). The message levels that are logged include the specified minimum level up to the Emergency level.

Error Level	Description
Emergency	System unusable
Alerts	Immediate action needed
Critical	Critical conditions (e.g., memory allocation, or free memory error - resource
	exhausted)
Error	Error conditions (e.g., invalid input, default used)
Warning	Warning conditions (e.g., return false, unexpected return)
Notice	Normal but significant condition, such as cold start
Informational	Informational messages only
Debug	Debugging messages

Note: The access point error log can be viewed using the Event Logs window in the Status section (page 6-88). The Event Logs window displays the last 128 messages logged in chronological order, from the newest to the oldest. Log messages saved in the access point’s memory are erased when the device is rebooted.

Logging Facility Type – Sets the facility type for remote logging of syslog messages. The command specifies the facility type tag sent in syslog messages. (See RFC 3164.) This type has no effect on the kind of messages reported by the switch. However, it may be used by the syslog server to sort messages or to store messages in the corresponding database. (Range: 16-23; Default: 16)
