You can define multiple selectors for an action. When you create multiple selectors for an action, remember that each selector can modify the selectors preceding it. The selector specifies the type and priority of messages that will be logged to the newly defined action. The selector has two fields-priorities and facilities.
You can enter one or more of the following facilities, which describes the part of the system that is generating the message:
| Keyword | Definition |
|---|---|
| auth | messages from the authentication system, such as login |
| cron | messages from the internal cron facility |
| daemon | messages from the filer daemons, such as rshd |
| kern | messages from the filer kernal |
You can enter one or more of the following priorities, which describes the severity of condition from which the message was generated:
| Keyword | Definition |
|---|---|
| alert | condition that you should correct immediately, such as a failed disk |
| crit | critical conditions, such as disk errors |
| debug | used for diagnostic purporses (supressed by default) |
| emerg | panic condition that causes a disruption of normal service |
| err | errors, such as those caused by a bad configuration file |
| info | information, such as the hourly uptime message |
| notice | conditions that are not errors, but might require special handling |
| warning | conditions that may become errors if they are not corrected |
