log-events This element sets the severity and facility of different logging events. The events have reasonable default values, which are used if no explicit logging settings are made. This setting allows customizing the default values.
For the events, facility
and severity
can be set as attributes. The events itself should be listed inside the log-events
element.
The facility can be normal
, daemon
, user
, auth
, local0
, local1
, local2
, local3
, local4
, local5
, local6
, local7
, or discard
. Setting the facility to discard
causes the server to ignore the specifed log events.
The severity can be informational
, notice
, warning
, error
, critical
, security-success
, or security-failure
.
Any events that are not specifically defined in the configuration file will use the default values. The defaults can be overridden for all remaining events by giving an empty log-events
element after all other definitions and setting a severity value for it.
