Status Monitoring and Statistics
NOTE
Extreme Networks recommends that you set the system recovery level to critical . This allows
ExtremeWare to log an error to the syslog and automatically reboot the system after a critical exception.
Logging
The switch log tracks all configuration and fault information pertaining to the device. Each entry in the
log contains the following information:
• Timestamp — The timestamp records the month and day of the event, along with the time (hours,
minutes, and seconds) in the form HH:MM:SS. If the event was caused by a user, the user name is
also provided.
• Fault level — Table 49 describes the four levels of importance that the system can assign to a fault.
By default, log entries that are assigned a critical or warning level remain in the log after a switch
reboot. Issuing a clear log command does not remove these static entries. To remove log entries of all
levels (including warning or critical), use the following command:
clear log static
• Subsystem — The subsystem refers to the specific functional area to which the error refers. Table 50
describes the subsystems.
