syslog server or the local system.You can also specify the severity level of the log to be reported to a log file. The
default system log level is 3 (Changes to this parameter via web user interface requires a reboot).
In the configuration files, you can use the following parameters to configure system log settings:
• syslog.mode: Specify the system log to be exported to a server or local system.
• syslog.server: Specify the IP address or domain name of the syslog server to which the log will be
exported.

4: warning conditions
5: normal but significant condition
6: informational
