Using the Event Log to Identify Problem
Sources
The Event Log records operating events as single-line entries listed in chrono-
logical order, and serves as a tool for isolating problems. Each Event Log entry
is composed of five fields:
Severity is one of the following codes:
Date is the date in mm/dd/yy format that the entry was placed in the log.
Time is the time in hh:mm:ss format that the entry was placed in the log.
System Module is the internal module (such as "ports" for port manager) that
generated the log entry. Table 8-1 lists the system modules that could be
displayed in the Event Log.
Event Message is a brief description of the operating event.
