System Log entry format
A wide variety of events are generated by Virtual Connect and logged into the System Log, or SysLog. The
remote logging capability is supported using the syslog protocol defined in RFC 3164. The remote logging
feature also provides an option for transmission over TCP and secure transmission support using stunnel. The
events generated by Virtual Connect follow the same format and contain a time stamp, the Virtual Connect
object information that generated the event, and a detailed message.
The System Log entries use the following format:
[Date in RFC 3164 or ISO 8601 format]T[Time][Time zone] [hostname]
[processname] [[ObjectShortName]:[ObjectName]:[EventCode]:[Severity]]
[Event Message]
In the following example:
2011-07-28T13:57:40-05:00 VCEFXTW210600WH vcmd:
[VCD:aus-c7000-82_vc_domain:1011:Info] VCM user logout :
[email protected]
• The date is 2011-07-28.
• The time is 13:57:40.
• The time zone is -05:00. The time zone includes daytime savings.
• The hostname is VCEFXTW210600WH.
• The process name that created the log is vcmd.
• The object short name is VCD (domain).
• The object name is aus-c7000-82_vc_domain.
• The event code is 1011.
• The event severity is Info (informational).
• The event message is VCM user logout : [email protected].
The following table describes the Virtual Connect managed objects that are capable of generating System
Log events, along with the corresponding event ID ranges.
VC object name Object short name Event ranges
Domain VCD 1000 – 1999
Enclosure ENC 2000 – 2999
Ethernet Modules ENET 3000 – 3999
FC Modules FC 4000 – 4999
Servers SVR 5000 – 5999
Profiles PRO 6000 – 6999
Ethernet Network NET 7000 – 7999
FC Fabric
FAB 8000 – 8999
Unknown Module UNK 9000 – 9999
Network Access Groups NAG 12000 – 12999
The event severity reflects the functional state of the Virtual Connect object. The event severities include:
• SEVERITY_INFO–A low-level condition for out-of-service equipment, system login/logout, and other
non-service affecting information
• SEVERITY_WARNING–A threshold was reached or an error condition is imminent
