Example:
syslogd running on Switch sw9 is sending log events to the UNIX machine
called example . The following is an example of a No memory error
generated by the shell. This is a severity 1 ( LOG_CRITICAL ) error. syslogd is
configured to store the errors in: /var/adm/silkworm file.

Message Classification
syslogd messages are classified according to facility and priority (severity
code). Thus allowing a system administrator to take different actions
depending on the error. The action taken, based on the message’s facility and
priority, is defined in the syslog configuration file. Example configurations are
provided in a following section.
The Switch uses the facility local7 for all error messages sent to the
syslogd.
UNIX provides eight priorities, whereas the Switch provides four severity
codes (code
LOG_PANIC (0) causes a reboot and is not sent to the syslogd).
The mapping between the Switch’s severity codes and UNIX syslogd priorities
is provided in Table 3-9.
