Dell PowerConnect 3324 User Manual page 115

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. The following table contains the Log
Severity Levels:
