Overview of RASLog messages
RASLog messages log system events related to configuration changes or system error conditions.
Messages are reported at various levels of severity ranging from informational (INFO) to escalating
error levels (WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL). Network OS maintains two separate internal
message storage repositories, SYSTEM and DCE.
Table 1 shows the message types stored in each
of the two repositories. A RASLog message can have one or more type attributes. For example, a
message can be of type DCE, FFDC, and AUDIT. A message cannot have both LOG and DCE type
attributes.
