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>,
<Reserved field for future expansion>, <Event-specific information>
The following is a sample audit event message:
4 Sequence Number The error message position in the log. When a new message is
added to the log, this number is incremented by 1. When this
message reaches the last position in the error log and becomes
the oldest message in the log, it is deleted when a new message is
added.
The message sequence number starts at 1 after a
firmwareDownload and will increase up to a value of
2,147,483,647 (0x7ffffff).
The sequence number will continue to increase beyond the
storage limit of 1024 messages. The sequence number can be
reset to 1 using the errClear command. The sequence number is
persistent across power cycles and switch reboots.
