Additional Information Function Field
A severity level indicates how seriously the triggering
event affects switch functions. When you configure a
location for logging a facility, you also specify a severity
level for the facility. Only messages from the facility
that are rated at that level or higher are logged to the
specified file. Severity level of a message is indicated by different
colors.

Unknown
—Gray—Indicates no severity level is
specified.
•
Debug/Info/Notice
—Green—Indicates conditions that
are not errors but are of interest or might warrant
special handling.
• Warning —Yellow—Indicates conditions that warrant
monitoring.
•
Error
—Blue—Indicates standard error conditions that
generally have less serious consequences than errors
in the emergency, alert, and critical levels.
•
Critical
—Pink—Indicates critical conditions, such as
hard-drive errors.

immediate correction, such as a corrupted system
database.
