Logging
Protocols generate important debugging messages by default, and send them to the logging
system. Additional more detailed messages can be generated by enabling debugging
(
“Debugging” on page 9.2
).
Messages can be filtered based on: the program that generated the message, the severity level
of the message, the type of facility that generated the message, substrings within the message
text. The severity levels in order are:
■
emergencies
■
alerts
■
critical
■
errors
■
warnings
■
notifications
■
informational
■
debugging

■
auth Security/authorization messages
