Severity levels
Except for some System (embedded management card) events that do not
have a severity level,events are assigned a default severity level based on
their seriousness.
• Informational: Indicates an event that requires no action, such as a
notification of a return from an abnormal condition.
• Warning: Indicates an event that may need to be addressed if the
condition continues, but does not require immediate attention.
• Severe: Indicates an event that requires immediate attention. Unless
resolved, severe Device and System events can cause incorrect
operation of the Switched Rack PDU or its embedded management
card.
Event log action
You can disable the recording of events in the event log. By default, all
events are recorded, even events that have no severity level assigned.
SNMP traps action
By default, the SNMP Traps action is enabled for all events that have a
severity level assigned. However, before you can use SNMP traps for event
notifications, you must identify the network management stations (NMSs)
that will receive the traps by their IP addresses.
Even if you disable the event log action for all severity
levels, system (embedded management card) events that
have no severity level assigned will still be logged.
