System Severity Log - D-Link DES-6500 - Switch User Manual

System Severity Log

The System Severity Log allows users to configure where and when events occurring on the Switch will be recorded. These
events are classified by the Switch into the following three categories:
Information – Events classified as information are basic events occurring on the Switch that are not deemed as
•
problematic, such as enabling or disabling various functions on the Switch. This is the lowest severity level.
Warning - Events classified as warning are problematic events that are not critical to the overall function of the Switch but
•
do require attention, such as unsuccessful downloads or uploads and failed logins. This level is regarded as a mid-level
warning.
Critical – Events classified as critical are fatal exceptions occurring on the Switch, such as hardware failures or spoofing
•
attacks. This level is regarded as the highest severity level.
When an event occurs, the Switch classifies it into one of these three categories. If the severity of the event is higher than the level
configured, the Switch will send a message to the SNMP trap, the Switch's log or both, depending on user configuration. If the
event classified as lower than the configured severity level, the message is regarded as unimportant and will be discarded.
To configure the system severity levels, open the following window by clicking Configuration > System Severity Log in the
main menu.
The user may set the following parameters to configure the System Severity. Configurations will be displayed in the System
Severity Table. Click Apply to implement changes made.
