Severity Parameter (Send-Syslog Cmdlet)
Importance of message.
Syntax
Send-Syslog -Severity int
Remarks
System log packets are composed of three main sections, each of which can be broken down into two smaller pieces.
The first section is the PRI, which contains the originating Facility and Severity of the Message. Severity is a value from 0 to 7 using the following convention:
| 0 | Emergency - the system is unusable |
| 1 | Alert - action must be taken immediately |
| 2 | Critical - critical conditions exist |
| 3 | Error - error conditions exist |
| 4 | Warning - warning conditions exist |
| 5 | Notice - normal but significant condition |
| 6 | Informational - informative message |
| 7 | Debug - debug-level messages |
The second section contains a timestamp and hostname, both of which are automatically generated by the cmdlet. The third section is the Message itself.
Default Value
6
