A more syslog-style level of logging filtering would be appreciated. So moving away from enable/disable on a process basis and allow for critical errors to be always logged.

I think we can easily use this function from syslogd:

    -l N            Log only messages more urgent than prio N (1-8)

This will bring us another layer of filtering. Quite interesting that it hasnt been implemented so far.

Just wonder why there are 8 levels of priority?

EDIT:
According to this:
https://sites.uclouvain.be/SystInfo/usr/include/sys/syslog.h.html

IN fact syslog supports up to 8 priority levels, so it is ok

[rs232]

Yes this would be good indeed. Of course it has a dependency on individual application/processes logging at the right priority level (not a given).

Also my point in the post refers to the application logging verbosity which not always can be tweaked and even if so it rarely covers the 8 different levels of priority.
