Hello Amir

The syslog severity is based on the log type and contents. Below are the details

Log Type Severity                                                Syslog Severity

TRAFFIC                                                                   INFO

CONFIG                                                                    INFO

THREAT/SYSTEM –Informational                       INFO

THREAT/SYSTEM – Low                                      NOTICE

THREAT/SYSTEM – Medium                              WARNING

THREAT/SYSTEM – High                                    ERROR

THREAT/SYSTEM – Critical                                CRITICAL

Hope that helps.

Thanks Khan,

I would say it's sort of a correlation between them which is helpful in the UNIX environment.

Just checked Splunk and the severity levels are identical.

Thanks again.

Amir
