        Description

        Currently syslog provides severity level information (according to SERVER-7450), e.g. LOG_CRIT, LOG_INFO etc. It should also provide facility information, e.g. LOG_LOCAL0 to 7 so that filtering of syslog messages to a remote server can be performed much easier.

            Matt Dannenberg, this is pretty straight-forward. Shaun Verch can show you where logging is initialized in the servers. What you need to do is change the openlog() call the ServerLogRedirection initializer. You'll also need to add a command-line option or a setParameter to let the user choose one of

            { "user", "local0", "local1", ..., "local7" }

            . Talk w/ Shaun and Eric Milkie about how to name the command line option and how to set it up.
