# syslog

## syslog edit

syslog edit - Change syslog settings

**Description:** syslog edit controls the system logger. All messages are reported into the system logger and they are kept or trashed depending on the system logger level. The system logger also supports remote logging. You can send messages to an external computer.

The different levels for the syslog are:

1. Emergency:	system is unusable
2. Alert:	action must be taken immediately
3. Critical:	critical conditions
4. Error:	error conditions
5. Warning:	warning conditions
6. Notice:	normal, but significant, condition
7. Info:		informational message
8. Debug:	debug-level message

The syslog level you choose enables all messages from the specified level and all messages from lower levels.

When dev-facility is enabled, all messages are logged using the user-defined facility instead of the default ones.

**Syntax:**

```
  syslog edit {{dev-facility {enable | disable} <facility>}
               {remote {disable | enable}} |
               {host {<host-name>}} |
               {priority {<level>}} }+
```

**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| <host-name> | <ip-addr> \| <FQHN> |
| <FQHN> | <string> |
| <level> | <Emergency\|Alert\|Critical\|Error\|Warning\|Notice\|Info\|Debug> |
| <facility> | <LOCAL0\|LOCAL1\|LOCAL2\|LOCAL3\|LOCAL4\|LOCAL5\|LOCAL6\|LOCAL7> |
| dev-facility | Enable or disable device facility to log all messages using a user-defined facility instead of the default ones. |
