Syslog Priority Table

In looking at the raw syslog messages, there is a priority code which is listed as the first field (<134>).  Sometimes we need to decipher this quickly, so that we can attach a LEM connector to the proper facility.

The priority is facility*8 + severity.  So with the priority of 134, we know that the facility is 16 (local0) and severity is informational(6).

Hopefully this helps

Thanks
