Messages stored to
buffer
are saved to the XSR’s RAM, those stored to
monitor
are displayed on
active Telnet CLI sessions, those stored to A.B.C.D. are saved in the IP address of the
associated SYSLOG server. Refer to the
XSR CLI Reference
and
User Guide
for more information
about severity levels.
Typically, only HIGH severity alarms are logged to red flag critical events and those requiring
operator intervention. Also, the DEBUG alarm level is meant for maintenance personnel only.
The XSR may discard LOW and DEBUG level alarms if the system is too occupied to deliver
them. The number of discarded messages is displayed by the following line in
show logging
command output:
Discards: high=0 medium=0 low=4 debug=22
