Critical (Severity level 2)

- E
Error (Severity level 3)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, E
Explanation
Syslog uses numerical severity levels ranging from 0 (highest priority) to 7 (lowest priority). To monitor only high-priority messages, the administrator must configure syslog to include severity levels 0 (Emergency), 1 (Alert), 2 (Critical), and 3 (Error). Severity level 4 (Warning) and levels beyond it are lower priority and are excluded in this case.
- A. Correct.
Emergency (Severity level 0) represents the highest priority messages and is included in severity levels 0 to 3.
- B. Correct.
Alert (Severity level 1) is the second-highest priority and is within the range of severity levels 0 to 3.
- C. Correct.
Critical (Severity level 2) is included in the required range of severity levels 0 to 3.
- D. Incorrect.
Warning (Severity level 4) falls outside the specified range of severity levels 0 to 3 and is not included.
- E. Correct.
Error (Severity level 3) is the highest severity level within the specified range and is included.
