Syslog Facility Details

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
