Admin > Logging
The System Logs allow you to view device events in real
time, and recording the events for later usage. System
Logs record and manage events and report errors or
informational messages.
Event messages have a unique format, as per the
SYSLOG protocols recommended message format for
all error reporting. For example, Syslog and local device
reporting messages are assigned a severity code, and
include a message mnemonic, which identifies the source
application generating the message. It allows messages
to be filtered based on their urgency or relevancy. Each
message severity determines the set of event logging
devices that are sent per each event logging.
