troubleshooting purposes.
The various types of information available in LC logs are alerts-related, configuration changes on the system hardware
components, firmware changes due to an upgrade or downgrade, replaced parts, temperature warnings, detailed timestamps of
when the activity has started, severity of the activity, and so on.
