administrator.

Severity

Mapping

Maps each severity level of Rack PDU or Environment events to available Syslog

priorities. You should not need to change the mappings.

The following definitions are from RFC3164:

• Emergency: The system is unusable

• Alert: Action must be taken immediately

• Critical: Critical conditions

• Error: Error conditions

• Warning: Warning conditions

• Notice: Normal but significant conditions

• Informational: Informational messages

• Debug: Debug-level messages

Following are the default settings for the Local Priority settings:

• Severe is mapped to Critical

• Warning is mapped to Warning

• Informational is mapped to Info
