Syslog is used to collect and print or record system messages sent from an array of daemons and devices.
Facility
A syslog facility is a tag that can be used by the syslog daemon to route log messages to various places like a console, a file or another syslog server. Most applications should use local0 through local7 if they don't directly match an existing facility name. The recognized syslog facilities are:
- auth
- authpriv
- daemon
- cron
- ftp
- lpr
- kern
- news
- syslog
- user
- uucp
- local0
- local1
- local2
- local3
- local4
- local5
- local6
- local7
Priority
Sometimes also called "level", this tells the syslog daemon what log level the message has been assigned. The priority is a hierarchy and messages with a priority below a given level will usually be ignored. The priorities are, in order of importance starting with the highest priority levels:
- Emergency
- Alert
- Critical
- Error
- Warning
- Notice
- Info
- Debug
