Log messages have different priorities, based on content, which
determine both where the messages are logged and how they are
formatted. Table 6-1 describes log message types (in priority order from
highest to lowest), their format, and their content.
Table 6-1 dce_config Message Categories
Priority Format Content
ERROR ERROR:<message> Result of an operation that was not as
expected, and is probably fatal. Always
followed by a prompt for user to continue or
quit.
WARNING WARNING:<message> Information the user should be aware of
before proceeding. Always non-fatal. Always
logged to display and to log file. Always
followed by a prompt for user to continue or
quit unless DO_CHECKS="n".
SUMMARY S:<message> High-level summary of action being taken
or action completed. Always logged to log
file. Also logged to display unless
DISPLAY_THRESHOLD is WARNING or
ERROR.
VERBOSE V:<message> Low-level summary of actions being taken,
user queries and responses, or actual
commands executed that do not affect
configuration or node state. Logged to log
file unless LOG_THRESHOLD is DETAIL or
higher. Not logged to display unless
DISPLAY_THRESHOLD is VERBOSE or lower.
DEBUG DEBUG:<message> Actual commands executed that show only
where in the dce_config script the actions
are taking place. Also used for recording
sleep commands. Frequently contain error
message text, since error text is passed to
script functions for display if an error
occurs. Do not confuse these message with
actual error occurrences.
