severity level. The severity level controls the kinds of error-type events that are recorded by the switch
logging function. If an application experiences an event equal to or greater than the severity level assigned
to the application, the event is recorded and forwarded to the configured output devices. You can specify
the application either by the application ID CLI keyword or by its numeric equivalent.
To obtain a list of application IDs and numeric equivalents, use the
all parameters to display all available registered applications.
The level keyword is used with the swlog appid command to assign the error-type severity level to the
specified application IDs. Values range from 1 (highest severity) to 8 (lowest severity). The values are
defined in the following table:
