The Event Message Reference contains the error and event
information generated by firmware and other agents that monitor system
components. These events might be logged, presented to the user on
one of the system management consoles, or both logged and displayed.
Each event
consists of the following fields:
-
Message ID
- The unique alphanumeric identifier for the event. This identifier
can be up to eight characters long and consists of two parts:
-
Message ID Prefix
- Up to four alphabetic characters.
-
Message ID Sequence
- Up to four numeric digits.
-
Message
- The message text that is displayed to the user or logged as a
result of the event.
If the message has variable content in it,
the variable substitution is reflected by text in
italics.
These substitution variables are described in the
Arguments field of the event.
-

in the event message text.
If there is no variable content in the
message, this field is omitted from the event description.
