Cluster syslog forwarding: what does each facility represent?
Applies to
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.
