Monitored syslog messages

Syslog messages are prioritized by a combination of facility and urgency level:

• there are 10 standard facilities and 8 that can be configured for your use. These are monitored by Entuity syslogger:
  
  

  Facility	Description
  kern	kernel messages.
  user	user-level messages.
  mail	mail subsystem.
  daemon	system daemons.
  auth	security/authorization messages.
  syslog	internally generated syslogd messages.
  news	usenet news subsystem.
  uucp	Unix to Unix Copy Program subsystem.
  cron	clock daemon.
  local0	reserved for local use.
  local1	reserved for local use.
  local2	reserved for local use.
  local3	reserved for local use.
  local4	reserved for local use.
  local5	reserved for local use.
  local6	reserved for local use.
  local7	reserved for local use.

• The urgency levels are listed in order below. When you specify a level in entuity.cfg, you are selecting that level and all the levels above it.
  
  

  Level	Level Name	Description
  0	emerg	system is unusable.
  1	alert	immediate action required
  2	crit	critical condition.
  3	err	error condition.
  4	warning	warning condition.
  5	notice	normal but significant condition.
  6	info	informational.
  7	debug	debugging messages.

Through the syslogger section in entuity.cfg, you can set the combination of facility source and urgency level that syslogger accepts. By default, syslogger only processes those with levels 0 to 5 (and discards log levels 6 and 7). In entuity.cfg, use the following setting to specify the lowest level processed:

[syslogger]
loglevel=notice

Where acceptable values are:

• emerg
• alert
• crit
• err
• warning
• notice
• info
• debug
