Message format

Edit online

There are differences among the formats of error messages written to the AIX® error log, or Linux®, Windows, or Solaris system logs.

Table 1 describes the message formats on AIX, Linux, Windows, and Solaris system platforms.

The `LABEL` field contains a unique string identifying the error. In this manual, you can use the label to look up information on the error. The `Resource Name` field indicates the specific RSCT subsystem that generated the error. The error entry ends with a description of the error. For more information on any of the other fields of the error log entry, see the online man page for the errupdate command.	Individual fields within the error record are separated by three colons (:::). The first field of the error record contains a timestamp followed by the name of the node on which the error occurred, followed by the resource name. The resource name indicates the specific RSCT subsystem that generated the error. The `Location` field provides information about the code that detected and recorded the incident. The description of the incident follows the last set of colon separators. For most RSCT subsystems, the description will start with a label (in the preceding example, the label is TS_LOC_DOWN_ST).
