Security Fundamentals

Which fact must the engineer consider when implementing syslog on a new network?

  • A Syslog defines the software or hardware component that triggered the message.
  • B There are 16 different logging levels (0-15).
  • C The logging level defines the severity of a particular message.
  • D By default, all message levels are sent to the syslog server.
Explanation

In syslog, the message severity level indicates how serious or urgent a given event is, using the standard severity scale from 0 (emergencies) to 7 (debugging). Syslog also uses facilities to categorize the source of messages, but the level itself is what defines message severity.
