Event categories

Tape library events are categorized by severity.

Error

Error events are the highest priority events and require immediate intervention. They are identified by the error icon (a red circle containing a white X) in the Events table. Errors indicate a hardware or communication failure that can impair library operations or cause damage to the system.

Warning

Warning events are the second highest priority events and require attention when time allows. They are identified by the warning icon (a yellow triangle containing an exclamation mark) in the Events table. Warnings indicate a problem that does not pose an immediate threat, but does require resolution to ensure library operations continue smoothly.

Information

Information events are the lowest priority events and do not require corrective action. They are identified by the information icon (a blue balloon containing a lowercase letter i) in the Events table. Information events provide information about the library or library operations, such as user logins and tape moves.
