• Logging - Enables device global logs for Cache, File, and Server Logs. Console logs are enabled by default. • Severity - The following are the available severity logs: - Emergency - The highest warning level. If the device is down or not functioning properly, an emergency log message is saved to the specified logging location. - Alert - The second highest warning level. An alert log is saved if there is a serious device malfunction, for example, all device features are down. - Critical - The third highest warning level. A critical log is saved if a critical device malfunction occurs, for example, two device ports are not functioning, while the rest of the device ports remain functional. - Error - A device error has occurred, for example, if a single port is offline. - Warning - The lowest level of a device warning. The device is functioning, but an operational problem has occurred. - Notice - Provides device information. - Informational - Provides device information. - Debug - Provides debugging messages.
