Classification Of System Information; System Information Levels; Output Channels And Destinations - HP 5500 EI Series Configuration Manual

By default, the information center is enabled. It affects system performance to some degree when it is
processing large amounts of information. If the system resources are insufficient, disable the information
center to save resources.

Classification of system information

System information is divided into the following types:
• Log information

System information levels

System information is classified into eight severity levels, from 0 through 7 in descending order. The
device outputs the system information with a severity level that is higher than or equal to the specified
level. For example, if you configure an output rule with a severity level of 6 (informational), information
that has a severity level from 0 to 6 is output.
