11.5.1.1 Working with logs
The log messages contain the time of event, severity, source component, and any
details generated by the source component. Log messages are divided into two
groups:
• HiPath Wireless Controller logs
• Wireless AP logs
Log severity levels
Log messages are classified at four levels of severity:
• Information (the activity of normal operation)
• Minor (alarm)
• Major (alarm)
• Critical (alarm)
The alarm messages (minor, major or critical log messages) are triggered by
activities that meet certain conditions that should be known and dealt with. The
following are examples of events on the HiPath Wireless Controller that generate
an alarm message:
• Reboot due to failure
• Software upgrade failure on the HiPath Wireless Controller
• Software upgrade failure on the Wireless AP
• Detection of rogue access point activity without valid ID
