Syslog Facility Levels
DellW-Instant supports facility-based logging levels. Syslog Facility is an information field
associated with a syslog message. It is an application or operating system component that
generates a log message. The following seven facilities are supported by Syslog:
l AP-Debug— Detailed log about AP device.
l Network— Log about change of network, for example, when a new W-IAP is added to a
network.
l Security— Log about network security, for example, when a client connects using wrong
password.
l System— Log about configuration and system status.
l User— Important logs about client.
l User-Debug— Detailed log about client.
l Wireless— Log about radio.
Table 12 describes the logging levels in order of severity, from most to least severe.
