Syslog Severity Levels

The eight syslog message levels from 0 (Emergency) to 7 (Debugging).

Definition

Levels are 0 Emergency, 1 Alert, 2 Critical, 3 Error, 4 Warning, 5 Notice, 6 Informational and 7 Debugging. Configuring a level logs that level and all more severe (lower-numbered) levels.

Example

logging trap warnings sends levels 0 through 4 to the syslog server.

Exam tip

Mnemonic: "Every Awesome Cisco Engineer Will Need Ice cream Daily." Lower number = more severe.
