The information that is logged varies depending on the device. Common log messages are SNMP_TRAP_LINK_UP and SNMP_TRAP_LINK_DOWN, which are logged when an interface changes its Operational or Administrative state.

Optical light level warnings or alarms are also logged here.

TIP: You can find a wide array of device logs (including IFD errors) via the Metric API calls.
