Displaying the event log

Enter the Show Log command to display the event log. Each message has the following format:

[ordinal]—A number assigned to each message in sequence since the last time the alarm history

was cleared

[time_stamp]—The time the alarm was issued in the format day month hh:mm:ss.ms UTC yyyy. This

time stamp comes from the switch for events that originate with the switch, and from the workstation for

events that originate with McDATA Web Server.

[severity]—The event severity: A–Alarm, C–Critical, W–Warning, I–Informative

[message_ID]—A number that identifies the message using the following format:

category.message_number

[source]—The program module or application that generated the event. Sources include Zoning,

Switch, PortApp, EPort, Management Server. Alarms do not include the source.

[message_text]—The text of the message
