InternalMsgFacility

Sets the facility used for messages that imklog generates internally.

This parameter applies to imklog: Kernel Log Input Module.

Name:: InternalMsgFacility
Scope:: module
Type:: facility
Default:: Linux: “kern”; other platforms: “syslogd”
Required?:: no
Introduced:: at least 5.x, possibly earlier

Description

This parameter sets the facility for messages that are generated internally by imklog. imklog generates some messages of itself (e.g. on problems, startup and shutdown) and these do not stem from the kernel. Historically, under Linux, these too have “kern” facility. Thus, on Linux platforms the default is “kern” while on others it is “syslogd”. It is recommended to not change this setting unless you have a specific reason to do so.
