This Log Message Reference lists the trap-associated logs and uses the following attributes:
• Category - These are explained in Section 1 and include the number within the category. NMS messages
have the category NMS.
• Type - The types possible are FAULT, OTHER, INFO, and PROGRESS INDICATOR. For the NMS, the type
is the associated configuration area (such as Discovery).
• Trap Text - This is the message passed with the log; these are listed in the NMS trap parser.
• Severity - These are critical, major, minor, and warning.
• Log Message - This is the descriptive text string that specifies the problem, and may include variables that
identify a specific component.
• Reason Code - This can further identify the problem.
• Overview - This explains the scope of the problem and the possible faulty components.
The log messages are listed by Category, Reason Code, and Trap Text. Reading the logs with these attributes
allows the user to quickly find the log in this table.
