Table 9 on page 19 lists the facility codes that can appear in system log messages and
maps them to facility names.
NOTE: If the second column in Table 9 on page 19 does not include the Junos facility
name for a code, the facility cannot be included in a statement at the [edit system
syslog] hierarchy level. The Junos OS might use the facilities in Table 9 on page 19—
and others that are not listed—when reporting on internal operations
