Understanding Severity Levels

On the View Events page, the severity level of a message is indicated by different colors. The severity level indicates how seriously the triggering event affects routing platform functions.

Table 40 lists the system log severity levels, the corresponding colors and a description of what the severity level indicates.

Table 40: Severity Levels

Color	Severity Level (from Highest to Lowest Severity)	Description
Red	emergency	System panic or other conditions that cause the routing platform to stop functioning.
Orange	alert	Conditions that must be corrected immediately, such as a corrupted system database.
Pink	critical	Critical conditions, such as hard drive errors.
Blue	error	Standard error conditions that generally have less serious consequences than errors in the emergency, alert, and critical levels.
Yellow	warning	Conditions that warrant monitoring.
Green	notice	Conditions that are not error conditions but are of interest or might warrant special handling.
	info	Informational messages. This is the default.
	debug	Software debugging messages.
Gray	unknown	No severity level is specified.
