Table 36 Searching - RAM/Flash Logs
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Level | Select the severity level(s) of the log events you want to find. The possible severity |
| levels are: |
| • Error - to search system failures, such as events which will cause the switch to |
| malfunction and events such as invalid user input in the web configurator. |
| • Warning - to search non critical errors on the switch. The switch will continue to |
| function when warnings are recorded. |
| • Info - to search regular system events, such as configuration changes or logins. |
| • Debug - to search events which can be helpful for engineering debugging of the |
| switch’s function. This field is not recommended to track as it creates many |
| messages not helpful to typical users. |
|
|
Category | Select All to search all categories or specify the individual categories you want to |
| search. |
| The categories are based on software and hardware features of the switch. For |
| example the category AUTODOS records events which deal with the Auto Denial of |
| Service features you set up and the category SYSTEM records events which deal |
| with the overall operation of the switch. |
