Example of Using Facility Numbers
The syslog system administrator sets up a server called “syslogger” to handle log messages from two KVM units. One KVM is located in São Paulo, Brazil, and the other KVM is in Fremont, California. The syslog server’s administrator wants to aggregate messages from the São Paulo KVM into the local1 facility, and to aggregate messages from Fremont KVM into the local2 facility.
On “syslogger” the system administrator has configured the system logging utility to write messages from the local1 facility to the /var/log/saopaulo-config file and the messages from the local2 facility to the /var/log/fremont-config file. While identifying the syslog server using the WMI, according to this example, you would select the facility number Local 2 from the Facility Number drop-down list on the System Log form.
