facility()
Synopsis: | facility( |
Description: Match messages having one of the listed facility codes.
The facility()
filter accepts both the name and the numerical code of the facility or the importance level. Facility codes 0-23 are predefined and can be referenced by their usual name. Facility codes above 24 are not defined.
You can use the facility filter the following ways:
-
Use a single facility name, for example,
facility(user)
-
Use a single facility code, for example,
facility(1)
-
Use a facility range (works only with facility names), for example,
facility(local0..local5)
The AxoSyslog application recognizes the following facilities: (Note that some of these facilities are available only on specific platforms.)
