The logonly action has been largely used for tracking the event processing flow of sec, where a message is left only to sec's internal log without any more visible action. For such purposes, the level 4 has been an adequate setting for most environments (it's not a warning or error, but a notification). It would be somewhat pointless to set the level lower, since when you have sec's own logging verbosity set to 'debug', you will get a very detailed picture of sec's actions anyway, even without the use of 'logonly'.
If you would like to implement a full blown logging scheme, I'd recommend to use syslog protocol for this purpose where the messages are not just written to sec's internal log but can be potentially forwarded to many receivers. Also, apart from just setting a severity, you can also take advantage of the facility and tag fields, in order to better indicate the type and name of the message source. If you are on a Linux host, then the 'udgram /dev/log <30>sec: this is a test' action produces a syslog message with the daemon-facility and info-severity, while the tag (program name) of the message is set to "sec" and the message text is "this is a test". This message is read by the local syslog server from /dev/log (or systemd-journald which forwards it to syslog daemon), and the further routing of the message depends on the configuration of the syslog server. regards, risto 2015-10-16 5:57 GMT+03:00 Bond Masuda <bond.mas...@jlbond.com>: > I know the documentation says logonly logs messages at level 4.
