Guidelines
The loglevel command determines which system-generated events to log to the
basic event log. The log priority also functions as filter and determines which
events to forward to a remote syslog daemon. In contrast, syslog specifies the
events that will be forwarded to a remote appliance.
In the absence of an argument, loglevel displays the current log-level.
The log levels can be expressed as character strings or as integer values, with 0
equating to emergency (most critical) and 6 equating to info (least critical).
By default the basic log level is set to notice (5).
When issued with an argument, loglevel specifies that all events of greater or
equal criticality to the argument are logged.
Note: The loglevel, logsize, and syslog commands provide the ability to configure
