ONTAP syslog incorrect severity level - all sent as level 6 (INFO)

Hello all,

We've recently started shipping ONTAP logs into a central log analysis tool and discovered a few problems. I'll create a separate topic for each. This one involves incorrect message severity. Logs that are ALERT(1) severity are being shipped at INFORMATIONAL(6) level severity. In fact that's all we're getting - everything is coming in at level 6.

Here's a proofer message below.

Anyone seen and fixed this before?

Thanks!

Hello,

Can you share your config and how you did configure the syslog log shipping?

Regards,

Pedro

Do you still have the same issue? Is there more you can share about the configuration?

What ONTAP logs can be exported to syslog?
