SYSLOG facility LOCAL6 is being used in HIPL. As the name suggests, it
provides filtering based on facility. This lets the configuration file
specify that messages from this facility will be handled differently.
The different types of messages that can be configured in the configuration
file (/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf) are as follows:
LOG_EMERG e.g. local6.emer
LOG_ALERT e.g local6.alert
LOG_CRIT e.g local6.crit
LOG_ERR e.g local6.err
LOG_WARNING e.g local6.warn
LOG_NOTICE e.g local6.notice
LOG_INFO e.g local6.info
LOG_DEBUG e.g local6.debug
and for all: local6.*
Other than this, program/application name based filtering is part of
syslog. Output log files can be specified in configuration file
(/etc/rsyslog.conf) based on application name by creating filter.
