Error Logs
Error logs contain more than just operating system errors. Many events
that occur that might have an impact upon the system are entered into
the log. These logs may be requested by Tech Support on occasion to aid
in troubleshooting the monitor. The logs are developed to aid engineering
for internal diagnostics of the monitor. Contact Tech Support if you need
clarification of any of the error logs.
Severity of the Error
Severity is a measure of how the event/error affected the system. There
are three levels of severity. The following is a list of these levels
accompanied by a brief description of each.
Severity of the Error
Error Description
CONTINUE The event or error was logged, the task may or may
not have completed, but the system was able to
continue operating. Most error log entries have this
severity level.
FATAL The event or error was logged, the task did not
complete, and the system was unable to continue
operating as recovery was not possible. This level of
severity in an event or error is always followed by an
automatic warm start.
FORCED RESET The operating system restarted normally after a
known condition, such as an Internet address
change, patient discharge, etc.
