Hi,

I would like to know the following queries,

In log forwarding, there are 7 types of forwarding i.e traffic, URL, threat etc. can we know how much data will it consuming for an individual log type while forwarding the logs to Syslog server from CLI or GUI.
what is the function of the facility and what is log_user means?

debug log-receiver statistics might give you the info you need.

Syslog server uses the facility field to manage messages. For details on the facility field, see RFC 3164 (BSD format) or RFC 5424 (IETF format).

LOG_USER is the default and is used for generic user-level messages.

Cheers,

-Kiwi.
