Security Fundamentals

A network administrator wants the syslog server to sort incoming messages into different files according to their importance.

Which filtering criterion must be used?

  • A message body
  • B level
  • C facility
  • D process ID
Explanation

In syslog, a message’s importance is represented by its severity level. The level indicates how urgent or serious the event is, such as error, warning, informational, or debug. Facility identifies the originating subsystem rather than importance, and fields like the message body or process ID do not define severity.
