LABEL

 

DESCRIPTION

Level

 

This field displays the severity level of the log event. The possible severity levels are:

 

 

• Error - to record 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 record non critical errors on the switch. The switch will continue to

 

 

function when warnings are recorded.

 

 

• Info - to record regular system events, such as configuration changes or logins.

 

 

• Debug - to record 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

 

This field displays what category the log entry fits. 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.

 

 

 

Time

 

This field specifies the time when the switch recorded the log event. The switch

 

 

resets its internal clock when it is restarted.

 

 

 

Message

 

This field displays an explanation for the log entry.
