Event Log Entries
Log entries that are forwarded to a destination are formatted in a way appropriate for the specific
destination whether it be recorded to a file or sent as an SNMP trap, but log event entries have
common elements or properties. All application generated events have the following properties:
• A time stamp in UTC or local time.
• The generating application.
• A unique event ID within the application.
• A router name identifying the VRF-ID that generated the event.
• A subject identifying the affected object.
• A short text description.
The general format for an event in an event log with either a memory, console or file destination is
as follows.
nnnn YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.SS <severity>:<application> # <event_id> <router-name> <subject>
