This read-write, deprecated value sets the minimum severity level, emerg(1), err(2), norm(3), or info(4), of events that get logged, and is retained only for backward compatibility on older products like DSL router endpoints. Admins on newer products should use pdnSyslogSeverityThreshold instead, which maps to the standard RFC 3164 severity scale, but on legacy devices this object still governs logging verbosity. For example, an admin managing an older DSL router would set this to err(2) to log only error-level and more severe events, defaulting to norm(3) otherwise.
