The RELIANT_LOG_PATH/switchlog file records RMS events relevant to the user, such as switch requests and fault indications. It contains the following five message types:
Informational messages (notices)
Warning messages
Error messages
Fatal error messages
Output from scripts run by RMS
Notices, warnings, errors, and fatal errors
The first four categories of messages all appear in this format:
timestamp: (err_code, err_number): msg_type: msg_text: msg_end
There is a colon followed by a space (:) between each field of the message. The fields are as follows:
timestamp has the format
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.xxx
(err_code, err_number) is a two or three letter code denoting the internal component that generated the message, followed by the unique number of the message for that component.
msg_type is one of the following:
NOTICE
WARNING
ERROR
FATAL ERROR
msg_text is any text generated by the RMS product. This consists of one or more lines of text, each followed by a newline character.
msg_end is a series four equal signs (====) followed by a newline character. With the terminal newline of the preceding msg_text field and the intervening colon-space field delimiter, this appears as a colon, a space, and four equal signs on a separate line in the log file. This uniquely identifies the end of each message, regardless of the number of lines.
For listings of all RMS ERROR and FATAL ERROR messages (without the leading timestamp and trailing msg_end fields), see "PRIMECLUSTER Messages."
Script output
The fifth category of messages, script output, follows no specific format. These messages are simply the redirected standard output and standard error streams generated by scripts defined in the RMS configuration. They generally have neither a leading timestamp field nor a trailing msg_end field.
Here is an example of a short sequence of script messages:
