Custom log flags

Most System Platform components have unique messages that do not belong to a default log flag category. In those cases, you must create custom log flags and assign them to unique component messages.

Several components can share a custom log flag if they send similar messages that fit into that category and if they assign those messages to the custom log flag. Another component cannot use a custom log flag if it did not assign a message to that log flag.
