The system software generates events, such as informational events and error events. An event ID or number is associated with the event and indicates the reason for the event.
Informational events provide information about the status of an operation. Informational events are recorded in the event log, and, depending on the configuration, informational event notifications can be sent through email, SNMP, or syslog.
Error events are generated when a service action is required. An error event maps to an alert with an associated error code. Depending on the configuration, error event notifications can be sent through email, SNMP, or syslog.
