RVFT Advisory Subject Name Elements

Element

Description

class

The class element denotes the severity of the situation.

• ERROR indicates a problem that certainly precludes fault tolerance.
• WARN indicates an anomalous situation that might jeopardize fault tolerance.

(Rendezvous fault tolerance software does not generate advisory messages with class INFO.)

source

The source element is RVFT for all advisories from fault tolerance software.

name

The name element describes the situation that the advisory reports.

group

The group element is the name of the fault tolerance group to which the problematic situation applies. Group names may consist of several elements, so the wildcard character ">" (rather than "*") is the correct way to match all names in this position.
