System Logs

To search for information on any column of a Facility screen like the one in Figure

40, do the following. In the box at the top of any column (Line, Priority, Mnemonic,

Time, Record), provide search data to filter the messages. You then see only

messages that fit that filter. For Priority, you see messages of the selected priority

level and higher; for example, a search for debug shows every message because

debug is the lowest priority level. A search for info shows the messages info and

higher: notice, warning, error, err, crit, alert emerg, panic (highest priority).

You can also click the calendar icon above the Time column to enter a specific date

or time to filter syslog messages in this category.
