1. Introduction  
Collection and printing log and alarm messages  
Logs and Alarms are collected for TOPS Voice Service Node (VSN) using the  
log and alarm subsystem installed in base TOPS VSN software. The same  
subsystem is responsible for creating log and alarm reports. These are stored  
temporarily on the TOPS VSN and can be sent to a printer or to a terminal for  
continuous display. TOPS VSN uses a dedicated printer to report its log  
messages.  
Predefined log and alarm configuration datafill is delivered to the operating  
company as part of the TOPS VSN installation tapes.  
TOPS VSN log message format  
A typical TOPS VSN log or alarm message is shown below in figure 1-1. Its  
identifying information is printed on one or two lines, and is followed by the  
message.

Introduction  
Header Information For TOPS VSN Log Messages.  
Identifying information, also known as header information, uniquely identifies  
each log and alarm message. The header of every log or alarm message  
generated by TOPS VSN contains the following:  
(a) Date and Time. The date and time are displayed in the upper left of the  
message. The format of the date is yymmdd, and the format of the time is  
hh:mm.  
(b) Severity. Each log message specifies the severity of the event it is  
reporting. The following terms or values are used to indicate severity:  
*C Critical  
Severity 1  
Severity 2  
Severity 3  
Logs with this severity generate critical  
alarms. These logs and alarms are the result  
of catastrophic failures such as power  
failures.  
**  
*
Major  
Minor  
Logs with this severity generate major  
alarms. These logs and alarms are the result  
serious failures such as PRUs being unable  
to initialize.  
Logs with this severity generate minor  
alarms. These alarms are used to flag  
problems that need either a visual or  
audible display at the TOPS VSN site. An  
example of a problem that would cause a  
minor alarm is an incorrect table entry.  
GEvent  
GError  
LEvent  
LError  
Severity 4  
Severity 5  
Severity 6  
Severity 7  
These are intermediate severity ratings. An  
event is a happening that does not effect  
service. The event is simply logged for the  
record. An error is also considered non-  
service affecting. It is an isolated error  
condition caused by the system, for  
example, a single lost call.  
Warning/  
Trouble  
Severity 8  
Severity 9  
This log severity indicates a warning.  
Status  
This log severity reports the status of a  
particular software or hardware unit. The  
percentage of disk space used is an  
example of a log with status severity.  
Progress  
Severity 10  
Log reports the progress of an event.  
Severity 11-13 These severity ratings are not defined for  
TOPS VSN.  
TOPS VSN Log and alarm messages  
 
Introduction 3  
Status 14  
Status 14  
Used for login/logout security related  
events. This status is now used by all logs  
generated from two DVS subsystems  
(8029 System Administration (Report #1  
only, and 8039 Security Agent Sub-PRU).  
The logs produced from these two  
subsystems identify logins, logouts,  
changes to USERIDs and Admin objects.  
Information  
Status 15  
This log severity is used for informational  
purposes only.  
(c) Subsystem Number. The subsystem number is a four-digit hexadecimal  
number that identifies a message subsystem. For example, the subsystem  
number for TOPS VSN common logs is 0200 to 020A. Each program  
resource unit (PRU) that generates logs has its own subsystem; the common  
logs are shared by all TOPS VSN PRUs.  
The following list identifies the number associated with each PRU:  
0200 - Common Logs - Run Errors  
0201 - Common Logs - Tasking Errors  
0202 - Common Logs - I/O Errors  
0203 - Common Logs - VTP Errors  
020A - TOPS VSN Common Logs  
0220 - VI Resource Manager Logs  
8722 - Alarms PRU  
9440 - ACPE Resource Manager Logs  
9441 - Control Link Logs  
9442 - ACPE Logs + ACPE Executor  
9443 - T1 Resource Manager Logs  
9445 - ACPE Maintenance Position  
(d) Report Number. Report numbers are hexadecimal numbers. They identify  
the group or category within the subsystem file the message belongs to. For  
TOPS VSN common log messages, the following numbering convention  
applies:  
Number  
0000  
Type  
Nonspecified error types  
Run errors  
0001  
0002  
Tasking errors  
IO errors  
0003  
(e) Error Number. Error numbers are hexadecimal numbers. They identify the  
specific error condition within each report number grouping.

2. TOPS VSN log messages  
TOPS VSN log messages are separated into two groups: common logs, and  
PRU-specific logs. Each group generates logs from a single subsystem (in most  
cases a subsystem is defined by a PRU). This Publication uses separate tables for  
each subsystem that generates logs.  
The first six tables list logs that are common to TOPS VSN as a whole. These  
logs are generated from base software but have specific application to TOPS  
VSN. With these logs there is no one-to-one correspondence between subsystem  
and PRU. The remaining tables list logs by software (PRU) subsystem. A  
complete list of logs generated from base software is given in Publication  
450-1301-511.  
Accompanying each log entry is a definition and a description of the action the  
user must take to respond to the log. This Publication contains the following log  
sections:  
3. lists messages for base run errors.  
4. lists messages for base tasking errors.  
5. lists messages for base IO errors.  
6. lists messages for base VTP errors.  
7. lists messages for TOPS VSN common logs.  
8. lists base maintenance notices.  
9. lists messages for VI resource manager errors.  
10. lists messages for the Alars PRU.  
11. lists messages for ACPE resource manager errors.  
12. lists messages for datalink errors.  
13. lists messages for ACPE errors.  
14. lists messages for T1 resource manager errors.  
15. lists messages for the Locality Database.  
16. lists messages for the Prompt Manager.

Description: This log is generated when the X.25 Control Link is no longer  
available for use. Data may have been lost depending on the activity in  
progress at the time of the reset. The reason may be one of the following: 1)

down (X.25 service associated with the physical link has been reset and is no  
longer available).  
Action: No action is required if within 30 seconds a log is generated  
indicating that the specified data link is now available. If this log does not follow,  
check all physical connections. If all are in good order, the problem is likely  
associated with a DMS failure (i.e.. MPC card). If the reason given is X.25 PRU  
Failure, the PRU must be returned to service. If a return to service does not  
happen automatically, it means the maximum fault count limit has been  
exceeded. This indicates that the processor is in trouble.

This string will indicate whether the log concerns a query handler or the MMI. If it  
concerns a query handler, it will show the current number of query handlers.  
The second string contains more information on the problem.  
Action: No explicit action is required immediately, as the LDB can continue to  
process queries, but with diminished capacity, as indicated in the log message.  
If the query processing capacity is too low, or if the MMI processing has failed,  
the LDB PRU should be rebooted.
