CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 697

A network administrator wants the syslog server to filter incoming messages into different files based on their importance. Which filtering criteria must be used?

Answer options

• A. message body
• B. level
• C. facility
• D. process ID

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, 'level', because syslog uses severity levels to classify the importance of messages. Options A, C, and D do not provide a systematic way to prioritize log messages based on their significance, making them unsuitable for this filtering requirement.
