5 is the severity level which means everything between 0 and 5 is logged.

The facility value is used to calculate the priority value of the message which is done by below formula:

Priority value = (facility value* 8) + severity value

These are the facility values:

LOCAL0 (Code = 16)

LOCAL1 (Code = 17)

LOCAL2 (Code = 18)

LOCAL3 (Code = 19)

LOCAL4 (Code = 20)

LOCAL5 (Code = 21)

LOCAL6 (Code = 22)

LOCAL7 (Code = 23)

Hi,

what is the purpose of this priority value 

Thanks
