10 Event Log Configuration Event messages originate from the switch or from the management application in response to events that occur in the fabric. For a complete listing of switch event messages, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q and SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Event Messages Reference Guide. Events are classified by the following severity levels: • Alarm-The alarm level describes events that are disruptive to the administration or operation of a fabric and require administrator intervention. • Critical-The critical level describes events that are generally disruptive to the administration or operation of the fabric, but require no action. • Warning-The warning level describes events that are generally not disruptive to the administration or operation of the fabric, but are more important than the informative level events. • Informative-The informative level describes routine events associated with a normal fabric.
