Event messages have a unique format, as per the SYSLOG RFC recommended message format for all error reporting; for example, Syslog+ 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 severity of each message determines the set of event logging devices to which messages are sent for each event logging device.
