This read-create enumerated object selects which severity level of messages the switch forwards to this syslog server entry, choosing among all(1), warning(2), or informational(3). Administrators use it to control log volume sent to a given server, for example sending only warning-level events to one server while sending everything to another for full auditing. For example, setting this to warning(2) on a given server entry means only warning-severity log messages are forwarded to that syslog destination, filtering out routine informational messages.
