The fields in the error message are described in Table 6 .
Audit event messages
Compared to Log error messages, messages flagged as AUDIT provide additional user and
system-related information of interest for post-event auditing and problem determination.
The following example shows the format of the Audit event message.
TABLE 6 RAS message field description
Variable name Description
Timestamp The system time (UTC) when the message was generated on the switch. The RASLog
subsystem supports an internationalized time stamp format base on the “LOCAL” setting.
Event ID The Event ID is the message module and number. These values uniquely identify each
message in the Network OS and reference the cause and actions recommended in this
manual. Note that not all message numbers are used; there can be gaps in the numeric
message sequence.
Sequence Number The error message position in the log. When a new message is added to the log, this number
is incremented by 1.
The message sequence number starts at 1 after a firmware download and increases up to a
value of 2,147,483,647 (0x7ffffff). The sequence number continues to increase after the
message log wraps around; that is, the oldest message in the log is deleted when a new
message is added. The message sequence numbering is not split for the system and DCE
message logs. The sequence number can be reset to 1 using the clear logging raslog
command. However, the sequence number is not reset if you clear a particular message
type, for example, DCE. The sequence number is persistent across power cycles and switch
reboots.
Flags For most messages, this field contains a space character (null value) indicating that the
message is neither a DCE, FFDC, or VCS message. Messages may contain the following
values:
•
DCE–Indicates a message generated by the protocol-based modules.
•
FFDC–Indicates that additional first failure data capture information has also been
generated for this event.
•
VCS–Indicates a VCS message generated by a switch in the Brocade VCS fabric.
Severity The severity level of the message, which can be one of the following:
•
CRITICAL
•
ERROR
•
WARNING
•
INFO
Switch name The defined switch name or the chassis name of the switch. This value is truncated if it
exceeds 16 characters in length.
Event-specific
information A text string explaining the error encountered and provides the parameters supplied by the
software at runtime.
