State Description
Alarm—An alarm is a "serviceable event." This means that
attention by the user or field service is required. Alarms are
posted asynchronously to the screen and cannot be turned
off. If the alarm denotes that a system error has occurred,
the customer and/or field representative will generally be
directed to provide the support file from the switch.
Critical event—An event that indicates a potential failure.
Critical log messages are events that warrant notice by the
user. By default, these log messages will be posted to the
screen. Critical log messages do not have alarm status as
they require no immediate attention from a user or service
representative.
Warning event—An event that indicates errors or other
conditions that may require attention in order to maintain
maximum performance. Warning messages will not be
posted to the screen unless the log is configured to do so.
Warning messages are not disruptive and therefore, do not
meet the criteria of Critical. The user need not be informed
asynchronously
No icon Informative—An unclassified event that provides only
supporting information.
