- Debug
NOTE:
Severity Level and Facility determine the priority of the sent message.
Priority = Facility × 8 + Severity Level
For details about the values of Severity Level and Facility, see Table 2.
Facility
Specifies the module where the log is generated. For details about the available values of this parameter, see Table 2. Default value local use 0 (local0) is recommended.
