TIL about Syslog Severity Levels

POSTED ON:

TAGS:

Syslog is a protocol to manage your network devices.

Syslog itself relies heavily upon having a Syslog server of some kind to receive, store, and interpret Syslog messages because, after all, a device or application being able to send messages is of little use if there's nothing to receive them!

via https://www.ittsystems.com/what-is-syslog/

It's a score from 0 to 7 to determine severity.

0 - Emergency - System is unusable, dead.
1 - Alert - Danger. Fix immediately
2 - Critical - A core file has shut down.
3 - Error - It's failing.
4 - Warning - a error can occur.
5 - Notice - unusual events.
6 - Information - give standard info
7 - Debug - for dev
