On the Switch Events tab, you can click Filter to launch the Event Filter dialog box. The Event Filter dialog box allows you to define which events should be displayed on the Switch Events tab. For more information on filtering events, refer to "Filtering Switch Events" on page 49. TABLE 8 Event severity levels Icon and level Description Emergency Critical Alert Error Warning Emergency-level messages indicate a partial or complete failure of a subsystem. Critical-level messages indicate that the software has detected serious problems that will eventually cause a partial or complete failure of a subsystem if not corrected immediately. For example, a power supply failure or rise in temperature must receive immediate attention. This event does not compromise data or prevent the use of the system; however, the event warrants your attention. Error-level messages represent an error condition that does not impact overall system functionality significantly. For example, error-level messages might indicate timeouts on certain operations, failures of certain operations after retries, invalid parameters, or failure to perform a requested operation. Warning-level messages highlight a current operating condition that should be checked or it might lead to a failure in the future. For example, a power supply failure in a redundant system relays a warning that the system is no longer operating in redundant mode. The failed power supply must be replaced or fixed. Notices report important events, such as task completions or events. Notice Info Information-level messages report the current nonerror status of the system components, such as the online and offline status of a fabric port. Debug messages deliver status messages relating to debugging systems. Debug 48 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1002756-01
