On MacOS’s Console app which lists syslogd events on the system.log, there are no public definitions for the error numbers which is unhelpful and not in-line with transparency of linux systems. Apple support said I would need to come into the store for their engineers to try and answer my question (as stated below). Event id descriptions should be public so we can diagnose our computer issues.
As a computer programmer with many years experience on linux (as we know Darwin is based on Free BSD), I’ve never had such a problem finding codes such as this to debug (in this case disconnection issues). In particular, on my m1 laptop, I get the below message, the question is what does code 360 mean?

As an example, in the following answer on the Apple forum, the meaning of the code (in that case 337) was never stated. Knowing your error codes is step 1.

I hope this question is not removed because having access to event codes is essential to identify proper operation of our Mac computers. See the following for general info about syslog events. I might find this number by searching through low level linux logs using the terminal, but I shouldn’t have to:
