An administrator wants the syslog server to categorize incoming messages based on their source subsystem (e.g., kernel, authorization, mail). Which syslog feature allows for such categorization?
Syslog facilities are used to identify the source of syslog messages, allowing categorization based on the subsystem or application that generated them, such as kernel processes or mail services. This enables administrators to filter and manage logs efficiently according to their origin within the system.
Syslog severity levels indicate the urgency of messages, ranging from emergencies to debugging information, but they do not specify the source subsystem. Message sequence numbers help track the order of messages, and timestamps record when messages were generated. While these features are useful for log analysis, they do not provide categorization based on the source subsystem.
