.. _node.syslog.facility:

:kw:`facility`
==============

================= ================================================================
**scopable**      False
**required**      False
**default**       daemon
**scope order**   specific > generic
================= ================================================================

The syslog facility to log to.

.. _node.syslog.host:

:kw:`host`
==========

================= ================================================================
**scopable**      False
**required**      False
**default**       localhost if port is set
**scope order**   specific > generic
================= ================================================================

The syslog host to send logs to. If neither host nor port are specified and if /dev/log exists, the messages are posted to /dev/log.

.. _node.syslog.level:

:kw:`level`
===========

================= ================================================================
**scopable**      False
**required**      False
**default**       info
**scope order**   specific > generic
**candidates**    critical | error | warning | info | debug
================= ================================================================

The minimum message criticity to feed to syslog. Setting to critical actually disables the syslog logging, as the agent does not emit message at this level.

.. _node.syslog.port:

:kw:`port`
==========

================= ================================================================
**scopable**      False
**required**      False
**default**       514
**scope order**   specific > generic
================= ================================================================

The syslog host to send logs to. If neither host nor port are specified and if /dev/log exists, the messages are posted to /dev/log.
