facility()

Description: Match messages having one of the listed facility codes.

The facility() filter accepts both the name and the numerical code of the facility or the importance level. Facility codes 0-23 are predefined and can be referenced by their usual name. Facility codes above 24 are not defined.

You can use the facility filter the following ways:

• Use a single facility name, for example, facility(user)

• Use a single facility code, for example, facility(1)

• Use a facility range (works only with facility names), for example, facility(local0..local5)

The AxoSyslog application recognizes the following facilities: (Note that some of these facilities are available only on specific platforms.)
