This read-create enumerated object selects which syslog facility code, local0(0) through local7(7), the switch tags outgoing log messages with for this syslog server entry. Administrators set the facility so that a receiving syslog server or log-management system can filter and route messages from this switch separately from other devices sharing the same log server. For example, setting this to local4(4) lets the syslog server's configuration route this switch's messages into a dedicated log file reserved for local4-tagged sources.
