| Description | A description for this Log Publisher |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | A string |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |

| Description | Specifies the default severity levels for the logger. |
| Default Value | fatal-error severe-warning severe-error |
| Allowed Values | all - Messages of all severity levels are logged. none - No messages of any severity are logged by default. This value is intended to be used in conjunction with the override-severity property to define an error logger that will publish no error message beside the errors of a given category. fatal-error - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about fatal errors which may force the server to shut down or operate in a significantly degraded state. info - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about significant events within the server that are not warnings or errors. mild-error - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about mild (recoverable) errors encountered during processing. mild-warning - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about mild warnings triggered during processing. notice - The error log severity that is used for the most important informational messages (i.e., information that should almost always be logged but is not associated with a warning or error condition). severe-error - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about severe errors encountered during processing. severe-warning - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide information about severe warnings triggered during processing. debug - The error log severity that is used for messages that provide debugging information triggered during processing. |
| Multi-Valued | Yes |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Specifies the override severity levels for the logger based on the category of the messages. Each override severity level should include the category and the severity levels to log for that category, for example, core=mild-error,info,mild-warning. Valid categories are: core, extensions, protocol, config, log, util, schema, plugin, jeb, backend, tools, task, access-control, admin, replication, version, quicksetup, admin-tool, dsconfig, user-defined. Valid severities are: all, fatal-error, info, mild-error, mild-warning, notice, severe-error, severe-warning, debug. |
| Default Value | All messages with the default severity levels are logged. |
| Allowed Values | A string in the form category=severity1,severity2... |
| Multi-Valued | Yes |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Specifies the hostname or IP address of the syslogd host to log to. It is highly recommend to use localhost. |
| Default Value | localhost |
| Allowed Values | A string |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Description | Specifies the port number of the syslogd host to log to. |

| Allowed Values | An integer value. Lower limit is 1. Upper limit is 65535 . |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
syslog-facility (Advanced Property)
| Description | Specifies the syslog facility to use for this Syslog Based Error Log Publisher Enter a syslog facility code from the list
|
| Default Value | 1 |
| Allowed Values | An integer value. Lower limit is 0. Upper limit is 23 . |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
auto-flush (Advanced Property)
| Description | Specifies whether to flush the writer after every log record. If the asynchronous writes option is used, the writer is flushed after all the log records in the queue are written. |
| Default Value | true |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
asynchronous (Advanced Property)

| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
queue-size (Advanced Property)
| Description | The maximum number of log records that can be stored in the asynchronous queue. The server will continuously flush messages from the queue to the log. That is, it does not wait for the queue to fill up before flushing to the log. Lowering this value can impact performance. |
| Default Value | 10000 |
| Allowed Values | An integer value. Lower limit is 1000. Upper limit is 100000 . |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | The Syslog Based Error Log Publisher must be restarted if this property is changed and the asynchronous property is set to true. |
