3 In the Severity Filter list, select the lowest level of severity of the event or
condition to be logged (see the list in step 2 on page 207). The default
severity level is Error.
4 To map all the facilities to a standard local facility, select Facility
Mapping.
Some syslog servers require the facility to be set to a standard local facility
name.
5 In the Map to Local Facility List, select the local facility (Local 0 to Local 7)
to which all of the facilities are mapped. The default value is Local 0.
