Additional InformationFunctionField
A severity level indicates how seriously the triggering
event affects switch functions. When you configure a
location for logging a facility, you also specify a severity
level for the facility. Only messages from the facility
that are rated at that level or higher are logged to the
specified file.
Severity level of a message is indicated by different
colors.
• Unknown—Gray—Indicates no severity level is
specified.
• Debug/Info/Notice—Green—Indicatesconditions that
are not errors but are of interest or might warrant
special handling.
• Warning—Yellow—Indicates conditions that warrant
monitoring.
• Error—Blue—Indicates standarderror conditionsthat
generally havelessserious consequences than errors
in the emergency, alert, and critical levels.
• Critical—Pink—Indicates critical conditions, such as
hard-drive errors.
• Alert—Orange—Indicates conditions that require
immediate correction, such as a corrupted system
database.
• Emergency—Red—Indicates system panic or other
conditions that cause the switch to stop functioning.
