hostname
Leaf-list. An IP address or a host name. The host must be running the syslog protocol. A host name can include numbers, letters, hyphens (-), and such other commonly used characters. The IP address must follow one of the addressing standards: X.X.X.X or [x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x]. All host formats may have a :port suffix. The IPv6 address must be enclosed in square brackets ([ ]) to delimit the address and port.

You can send log messages to multiple hosts by creating multiple host configuration nodes.

facility
Leaf-list. The kinds of messages that are sent to the host. Refer to system syslog for the system syslog command for supported logging facilities.

You can send the log messages of multiple facilities to a host by creating multiple facility configuration nodes within the host configuration node.

level
The minimum severity level of log message that are reported. The level is any of emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, or debug. Refer to “Usage Guidelines” for the system syslog command for the meanings of these levels.

By default, messages of err severity are logged to hosts.
