address.

Messages Use the drop-down menu to specify the local server facility (if used) for the profile’s syslog event log
transfer.

identifier to log events based on criticality. Severity levels include 0 - Emergency, 1 - Alert, 2 -
Critical, 3 - Errors, 4 - Warning, 5 - Notice, 6 - Info and 7 - Debug. The default logging level is 4.

Time to Aggregate
Repeated Messages Define the increment (or interval) system events are logged on behalf of this profile. The shorter the
interval, the sooner the event is logged. Either define an interval in Seconds
(0 - 60) or Minutes (0 -1). The default value is 0 seconds.

the Create button to make a new policy.

system performance. This setting is enabled by default.
