syslog

facility

scopable	False

default	daemon
scope order	specific > generic

The syslog facility to log to.

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.

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.

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.
