ONTAP 9

Answer

  • The description of each facility is found in the Standard Track document under RFC 5424
  • The default syslogs are tagged kernel and user.
  • Note: ONTAP syslog forwarding uses RFC 3164 compliant timestamps so is not fully compliant to RFC 5424. See Event log server doesn't take ONTAP format for more information.
