Using Facility Codes with Log Messages

Netvisor ONE labels log messages with a facility code indicating the area of the software that generated the log message.

Netvisor One uses the following facility codes by default:

• Log_Daemon for events and system messages
• Log_AUDIT for audit messages

The following severity levels are used by default:

• Log_INFO for events and audit messages
• Log_Critical = critical
• Log_ERROR = error
• Log_WARNING = warn
• Log_NOTICE = note

You can override the default values by configuring matches for each syslog configuration which allows Netvisor One to translate log messages into fields that the syslog servers understand.
