[syslog-ng] Some Questions!

[mrgenius]

Hi all!
 I belongs to a relatively huge orginization. And we are not going to 
impliment Centralized Logging. But I have Few considerations and Things in 
mind whihc i needs to be rectified.
 We are ISP having around 8-9 Cisco routers ranging from 2600 to 7200 
series. around 30MaxTNT Access Servers and aroud 20 Cisco Switches.
 NOw i have Few Questions
  - What is Facility?? is it log message type ?? "DEBUG INFO NOTICE WARNING 
ERROR CRIT ALERT EMERG " . Because All Devices supports defining of facility 
from local0 to local 7. And Some devices like MaxTNT have options of definit 
facility as well as log level (having options of DEBUG INFO NOTICE WARNING 
ERROR CRIT ALERT EMERG)
 - Altough i know it depends on logs/time duration. But i would like to know 
what kind of machine is needed to runn syslog server (linux based) with 
stability? Will Dual XEON with 512k ram be enough?? And how about Harddisk 
size?
 Please if some one who has implimented syslog in such orgnization structure 
as i have.. suggest me answers of above said Question.

Regards,
 -Geni
Network Engineer
