That's the priority code ie the combination as defined by RFC3164 of severity and facility... Every facility and severity have a numeric value starting from 0. The priority code is calculated as : Facility * 8 + Severity... So 17 is Facility = 2 (mail) and Severity = 1 (alert) You can look here for all codes : http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3164.html Amodiovalerio Verde ----- Original Message ----- From: "Florian Lindner" <mailinglists@xgm.de> To: <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 2:33 PM Subject: Re: [syslog-ng]Sending mail to root?
Thanks, it works so far. I get Email like that:
<17>Aug 19 14:31:43 s_sys@bastet root: foo!
What dies the <17> means?
(The message was generated by logger with mail.alert)
Thanks, Florian
