To obtain the severity number, subtract the (facility times 8) value from the PRI value.
The severity number is one of the following:
Severity Number Severity Name Description
0 EMERG A panic condition
1 ALERT A condition that should be corrected immediately
2 CRITICAL Critical conditions, such as hard device errors
3 ERROR Error messages
4 WARNING Warning messages
5 NOTICE Conditions that are not errors but may require attention
6 INFO Information messages
7 DEBUG Debug messages
Sample calculation/interpretation
For each of the sample error logs presented, we can determine the following:
<13>2014-09-26T12:18:45.000+00:00 wa_nibpd[1326]:
NibpManualBpCancelState->Enter
<PRI> = 13
ISODATE = 2014-09-26T12:18:45.000+00:00
MSGHDR = wa_nibpd[1326]:
MSG = NibpManualBpCancelState
Facility = <PRI> ÷ 8 = 13 ÷ 8 = 1.625 = 1 when rounded down = User-level messages
Severity = <PRI> – (Facility x 8) = 13 – (1 x 8) = 13 – 8 = 5 = NOTICE
<150>2014-09-08T05:55:00.000+00:00 wa_spo2nonind[1521]: Code 1,
SPO2 s
ensor not connected
<PRI> = 150
ISODATE = 2014-09-08T05:55:00.000+00:00
MSGHDR = wa_spo2nonind[1521]:
MSG = Code 1, SPO2 sensor not connected
Facility = <PRI> ÷ 8 = 150 ÷ 8 = 18.75 = 18 when rounded down = Service messages (aka local-2)
Severity = <PRI> – (Facility x 8) = 150 – (18 x 8) = 150 – 144 = 6 = INFO
150
