Description
Alarm – An Alarm is any event that’s a "serviceable event". This means
that attention by the user or field service is required. Alarms are events
that get posted asynchronously to the screen. Alarms cannot be turned
off. If the alarm denotes that a system error has occurred the customer
and/or field representative will generally be directed to provide a "show
support" capture of the switch.

Critical event – An event that indicates a potential failure. Critical log
messages are events that warrant notice by the user. By default, these
log messages will be posted to the screen. Critical log messages do not
have alarm status as they require no immediate attention from a user or
service representative.

Warning event – An event that indicates errors or other conditions that
may require attention to maintain maximum performance. Warning
messages will not be posted to the screen unless the log is configured
to do so. Warning messages are not disruptive and, therefore, do not
meet the criteria of Critical. The user need not be informed
asynchronously
