Master Log
The Master Log Properties dialog box, described in Table 10 , displays a list of all events that have
occurred. Event monitoring enables early fault detection and isolation on a selected adapter. You
can filter the events based on the user-defined criteria shown in
Figure 22 .
Event severities
Table 11 describes the icons that represent the four event types.

Description
Critical-level messages indicate that the software has detected serious problems that will eventually cause a
partial or complete failure of a subsystem if not corrected immediately; for example, a power supply failure or
rise in temperature must receive immediate attention.
Major messages represent conditions that do not impact overall system functionality significantly. For
example, timeouts on certain operations, failures of certain operations after retries, invalid parameters, or
failure to perform a requested operation.
Minor messages highlight a current operating condition that should be checked or it might lead to a failure in
the future. For example, a power supply failure in a redundant system relays a warning that the system is no
longer operating in redundant mode and that the failed power supply needs to be replaced or fixed.
Information-level messages report the current non-error status of the system components; for example, the
online and offline status of a fabric port.
