Syslog Facility Details

[richard_childress]

Can someone provide me with details on how FortiOS categorizes various syslog messages to facilities?

I have found this documentation but it does not provide me with as much detail as I'd like:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.4.4/cli-reference/444620/config-log-syslogd-setting

I am most interested in a comparison of the audit and alert facilities. I'm also interested which facilities would include hardware status and resource usage messages.

Hi There,

You might want to check this link below

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.4.4/fortios-log-message-reference/436022/log-messages

It will help you to understand which log is under which category and what severity

For example 

Log messages > Event > 40705 - LOG_ID_EVENT_SYS_CPU_USAGE will explain which the log is under System Category and Severity : Notice

Cheers
