Notifier Message Format

Notifier messages have the following format:

<Source> <Event> <Entity> <Event code number> <Date and

time> <Text>

Source: The source IP address of the server that generated the global

event, or the string “

LOCAL” for events generated locally on that server.

Event: One of State, Error, Warn, Info, Event, Critical, Fatal, or Undefined.

Entity: The affected Matrix Server entity, such as a virtual host or

monitor.

Event code number: A number representing the event. This number is

often 100, which is the generic error code number most processes use by

default if those processes do not identify their log messages with specific

event code numbers. The number 0 means that the message was

generated by a test of a notifier.

Date and Time: Represented as mmm dd yyyy hh:mm:ss.

Text: The full text description of the event. The text can include specific

matrix information that can cause the format to vary significantly.
