NXD Logging

How NXD logging works in NXD-enabled systems

Any configuration change, error message, or other important event is reported by NXD. These items are logged in the system log, which is usually located in the primary management node directory /mnt/mgmt/var/log/messages. If RAS is configured on the system, all the RAS IEM (interesting event messages) events are also logged for consumption.

NXD and RAS

IEM is a framework of the RAS feature. Using this framework, NXD logs the NXD IEM events with an application code and its module information:
  • The NXD application code is 042
  • NXD module codes are in the following table:
    CodeModule
    001CLI
    002NXD device monitor
    003Core NXD driver

The details of NXD-related RAS IEM codes are in the following table:
