Messages Logged When Local Severity Level Is Higher

When the severity level is higher for local messages than for forwarded messages, the log on the TX Matrix platform includes fewer forwarded messages than when the severities are the same, and all local logs contain fewer messages overall.

For example, you can specify severity critical for the /var/log/messages file and severity notice for forwarded messages:



[edit system syslog]
file messages {
any critical;
}
host scc-master {
any notice;
}

Table 28 specifies which messages are included in the logs on the T640 routing nodes and the TX Matrix platform. Although the T640 routing nodes forward messages with severity notice and higher, the TX Matrix platform discards any of those messages with severity critical or lower (does not log forwarded messages with severity error, warning, or notice). None of the logs include messages with severity error or lower.

Table 28: Example: Local Severity Is critical, Forwarded Severity Is notice

Log Location	Source of Messages	Lowest Severity Included
T640 routing node	Local	critical
TX Matrix platform	Local	critical
TX Matrix platform	Forwarded from T640 routing nodes	critical
