Viewing System Logs
Event messages have a unique format, as per the SYSLOG RFC recommended message format for all error reporting, for example, local
device reporting. Messages are assigned a severity code, and include a message mnemonic, which identifies the source application generating the
message. Messages are filtered based on their urgency or relevancy. The following table contains the Log Severity Levels:
