syslogDefaultSeverity

Module: DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB

OID (symbolic): DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogDefaultSeverity

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: SyslogSeverity

Access: read-write

Description: The default syslog severity that will be added to syslog messages when the message needs to be relayed and does not have priority specified.

What is syslogDefaultSeverity?

This sets the default syslog severity level (from emergency(0) to debug(7)) applied to relayed messages that arrive without their own priority. Setting this appropriately ensures unprioritized messages still get filtered correctly by severity-based alerting rules downstream.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogDefaultSeverity

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogDefaultSeverity.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.1.4.1 s <value>
