Table 8 Event severity levels Icon and level Critical (1) Error (2) Warning (3) Info (4) Description 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. Error-level messages represent an error condition that does not significantly affect overall system functionality. 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 and that the failed power supply needs to be replaced or fixed. Information-level messages report the current nonerror status of the system components, for example, the online and offline status of a fabric port. Displaying fabric events Events are displayed for all switches in the fabric in the Fabric Events window (see Figure 13). Fabric events are not polled. You must click Refresh from the Fabric Events window to poll fabric events. Switch events are polled every 15 seconds. Fabric Events can be collected only for switches that have the same security level (http or https) as the launch switch. For switches that have a different level of security from the launch switch, a message is displayed at the top of the window indicating how many switches have no events reported from the last polling. For detailed information on the switch names and reasons for not polling (if available), click Details. To display fabric events 1. Click a fabric from the Fabric Tree. 2. Click the Fabric Events icon on the Fabric Toolbar. The Fabric Events window is displayed (see Figure 13). 3. Optional: Click the column head to sort the events by a particular column. Drag the column divider to resize a column. You can also filter events, as described in "Filtering fabric and switch events" on page 53. Fabric OS 5.x Advanced Web Tools administrator guide 51

Displaying fabric events
Events are displayed for all switches in the fabric in the Fabric Events window (see
Figure 13
). Fabric
events are not polled. You must click Refresh from the Fabric Events window to poll fabric events. Switch
events are polled every 15 seconds.
Fabric Events can be collected only for switches that have the same security level (http or https) as the
launch switch. For switches that have a different level of security from the launch switch, a message is
displayed at the top of the window indicating how many switches have no events reported from the last
polling. For detailed information on the switch names and reasons for not polling (if available), click
Details
.
To display fabric events
1.
Click a fabric from the Fabric Tree.
2.
Click the
Fabric Events
icon
on the Fabric Toolbar.
The Fabric Events window is displayed (see
Figure 13
).
3.
Optional: Click the column head to sort the events by a particular column.
Drag the column divider to resize a column.
You can also filter events, as described in ”
Filtering fabric and switch events
” on page 53.

Description
Critical (1)
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.
Error (2)
Error-level messages represent an error condition that does not significantly affect overall
system functionality. 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 (3)
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 and that
the failed power supply needs to be replaced or fixed.
Info (4)
Information-level messages report the current nonerror status of the system components, for
example, the online and offline status of a fabric port.
