22.13  Warning Log

The Warning log displays warning messages about errors of little significance. Warnings can display for example reports about invalid user login (invalid username or password), error in communication of the server and Web administration interface, etc.

Events recalling warning messages in this log do not seriously affect WinRoute functionality. However, they can point at current or possible problems. The Warning log can help if for example a user is complaining that certain services are not working.

Each warning message is identified by its numerical code (code xxx:). The following warning categories are defined:
