Facility value

The Facility value is a way of determining which process of the AlphaCom created the message. Since the Syslog protocol was originally written on BSD Unix, the Facilities reflect the names of Unix processes and Daemons:

  • Local0: Debug log
  • Local1: System log
  • Local2: Statistics log

Debug log

The Debug log contains the same information as transmitted on the TST console. On AMC systems the information was stored in a small error buffer which could be read by the "err" command from the TST console.

The Debug Log reports on three levels:

Local0:Warning
Warning – Information to the user. Often identical to texts sent to the log port
Local0:Error
Error – The software handles a problem by e.g. aborting an operation and returning to idle, but logs a message
Local0:???
Disaster – Exchange reset. The state of the exchange is so bad that the software does a controlled reset to restore normal operation.
