System Log Facility Codes and Numerical Codes Reported in Priority Information

Table 1 lists the facility codes that can appear in system log messages and maps them to facility names.

Note: If the second column in Table 1 does not include the Junos facility name for a code, the facility cannot be included in a statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level. The Junos OS might use the facilities in Table 1—and others that are not listed—when reporting on internal operations.

Table 1: Facility Codes Reported in Priority Information

Code	Junos Facility Name	Type of Event or Error
AUTH	authorization	Authentication and authorization attempts
AUTHPRIV		Authentication and authorization attempts that can be viewed by superusers only
CHANGE	change-log	Changes to the Junos configuration
CONFLICT	conflict-log	Specified configuration is invalid on the router type
CONSOLE		Messages written to `/dev/console` by the kernel console output r
CRON		Actions performed or errors encountered by the cron process
DAEMON	daemon	Actions performed or errors encountered by system processes
DFC	dfc	Actions performed or errors encountered by the dynamic flow capture process
FIREWALL	firewall	Packet filtering actions performed by a firewall filter
FTP	ftp	Actions performed or errors encountered by the FTP process
INTERACT	interactive-commands	Commands issued at the Junos OS CLI prompt or invoked by a client application such as a Junos XML protocol or NETCONF client
KERN	kernel	Actions performed or errors encountered by the Junos kernel
NTP		Actions performed or errors encountered by the Network Time Protocol (NTP)
PFE	pfe	Actions performed or errors encountered by the Packet Forwarding Engine
SYSLOG		Actions performed or errors encountered by the Junos system logging utility
USER	user	Actions performed or errors encountered by user-space processes

Table 2 lists the numerical severity codes that can appear in system log messages and maps them to severity levels.

Table 2: Numerical Codes for Severity Levels Reported in Priority Information

Numerical Code	Severity Level	Description
0	emergency	System panic or other condition that causes the router to stop functioning
1	alert	Conditions that require immediate correction, such as a corrupted system database
2	critical	Critical conditions, such as hard errors
3	error	Error conditions that generally have less serious consequences than errors in the emergency, alert, and critical levels
4	warning	Conditions that warrant monitoring
5	notice	Conditions that are not errors but might warrant special handling
6	info	Events or nonerror conditions of interest
7	debug	Software debugging messages (these appear only if a technical support representative has instructed you to configure this severity level)
