Audit event messages
Compared to RASLog error messages, messages flagged as AUDIT provide additional user and
system-related information of interest for post-event auditing and problem determination.
Audit event message format:
AUDIT, <timestamp>, [<Event ID>], <Severity>, <Event Class>, <User
ID>/<Role>/<IP address>/<Interface>/<app name>. <Admin Domain>/<Switch name>,
