Example of Using Facility Numbers
The syslog system administrator sets up a server called “syslogger” to handle log messages from two KVM/net units. One KVM/net is located in São Paulo, Brazil, and the other KVM/net is in Fremont, California. The syslog server’s administrator wants to aggregate messages from the São Paulo KVM/net into the local1 facility, and to aggregate messages from Fremont KVM/net 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.
