Error Message Format

Each error message logged sends the following information:

Error number (1 for the first error after boot, increments by one with
each new error).

The error message, exactly as it is stored in the error log (and printed via
the command

errShow

).

The error number makes it easy to identify the error and also determine when a
Switch rebooted. If there is a log of error number

N

from the Switch, followed

by another log of error number

0

from the Switch, then the Switch rebooted

between the two errors.

The error message includes the Switch that reported the error with the
following event information:

ID of the task that generated the error.

Name of the task that generated the error.

Date and time when the error occurred, as seen by the Switch. This may
be different from the first item in the log file, which is the time as seen
by the syslogd machine. These two time values are different if the clocks
in the Switch and in the syslogd machine are not in sync.

The error identifier consisting of a module name, a dash and an error
name.

The error severity.

Optional informational part.

Optional stack trace.
