The value of the logging facility part can be one of auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, syslog, user, UUCP, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6, or local7 and is defined inside /etc/syslog.conf, /etc/rsyslog.conf or another appropriate file depending on the server process used for system logging on your UNIX machine.
