facility
Syntax facility syslog-facility
no facility
Context config>log>syslog syslog-id
Description This command configures the facility code for messages sent to the syslog target host.
Multiple syslog IDs can be created with the same target host but each syslog ID can only have one
facility code. If multiple facility codes are entered, the last facility-code entered overwrites the
previous facility-code.
If multiple facilities need to be generated for a single syslog target host, then multiple log-id entries
must be created, each with its own filter criteria to select the events to be sent to the syslog target host
with a given facility code.
The no form of the command reverts to the default value.
Default local7 — syslog entries are sent with the local7 facility code.
Parameters syslog-facility — The syslog facility name represents a specific numeric facility code. The code
should be entered in accordance with the syslog RFC. However, the software does not validate if
the facility code configured is appropriate for the event type being sent to the syslog target host.
Values kernel, user, mail, systemd, auth, syslogd, printer, netnews, uucp, cron, authpriv,
ftp, ntp, logaudit, logalert, cron2, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5,
local6, local7
