Which command filters SYSLOG messages by severity level?

Which command filters SYSLOG messages by severity level?

• A. logging console [severity level]
• B. show logging
• C. syslog filter severity
• D. set log severity

Answer: (A)

Filtering SYSLOG messages by severity level means setting a threshold so that only messages at or above a certain urgency are shown or recorded. The command that does this for console output configures the minimum severity level the system will send to the console. By specifying a level, you tell the device to display only messages that meet or exceed that level, while more verbose messages (like debugging) are suppressed. This is why this command is the best fit for controlling which SYSLOG messages appear on the console. Other options don’t adjust this filtering threshold: one displays current logging activity or configuration, not the filtering rule; another isn't a standard command for setting console severity; and the last similarly doesn’t apply to selecting the severity level for SYSLOG output.
