are logged. For example, if you select Warning, the logged messages include
Warning, Error, Critical, Alert, and Emergency. The default severity level is Error (3).

The severity can be one of the following levels:

Emergency: Level 0, the highest warning level. If the device is down or not
functioning properly, an emergency log is saved to the device.

Alert: Level 1, the second-highest warning level. An alert log is saved if a serious
device malfunction occurs, such as all device features being down.

Critical: Level 2, the third-highest warning level. A critical log is saved if a critical
device malfunction occurs, for example, two device ports are not functioning,
while the rest of the device ports remain functional.

Error: Level 3, a device error occurred, such as a port being offline.

Warning: Level 4, the lowest level of a device warning.
