Audit Event Messages
Audit event message format is displayed differently than RAS event messages in the syslog so that they
are easily distinguishable.
Audit event message format:
<NULL>
(blank)
Audit and/or
FFDC Flags
For most messages, this field contains a space
character (null value) indicating that the message
is neither an AUDIT or FFDC message.
Messages may contain the following values:
• AUDIT indicates that this message is for a
security issue.
• FFDC indicates that additional first failure
data capture information has also been
generated for this event.
• AUDIT:FFDC indicates that the message is
for a security issue and additional FFDC
information has been generated.
ERROR Severity Level Displays the severity of the error in alpha
format:
1 = Critical
2 = Error
3 = Warning
4 = Info
switchname Switch name or
chassis name,
depending on the
action; for example,
HA messages
typically show the
chassis name and
login failures show
the logical switch
name.
This field displays the defined switch name or
the chassis name of the switch. This value is
truncated if it is over 16 characters in length.
Run either the chassisName command to name
the chassis or the switchName command to
rename the logical switch.
