Using the Event Log To Identify Problem
Sources
The Event Log records operating events as single-line entries listed in chrono-
logical order, and serves as a tool for isolating problems. Each Event Log entry
is composed of five fields:
Severity is one of the following codes:
I (information) indicates routine events.
W (warning) indicates that a service has behaved unexpectedly.
C (critical) indicates that a severe switch error has occurred.
D (debug) reserved for HP internal diagnostic information.
Date is the date in mm/dd/yy format that the entry was placed in the log.
Time is the time in hh:mm:ss format that the entry was placed in the log.
System Module is the internal module (such as “ports” for port manager) that
generated the log entry. If VLANs are configured, then a VLAN name also
appears for an event that is specific to an individual VLAN. Table 8-1 on page
8-13 lists the individual modules.
Event Message is a brief description of the operating event.
