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

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.
