Path Purpose

Logging Filters
Overrides the configuration in the specified output destination
command. For example, if you specify that messages at
severity level 7 should go to the internal log buffer and that ha
class messages at severity level 3 should go to the internal log
buffer, then the latter configuration takes precedence. To
specify that a class should go to more than one destination,
choose a different filtering option for each output destination.
Path Purpose

Setup > Advanced
Configures the ASAto include a device ID in
non-EMBLEM-format syslog messages. You can specify only
one type of device ID for syslog messages. If you enable the
logging device ID for the admin context in multiple context
mode, messages that originate in the system execution space
use a device ID of system, and messages that originate in the
admin context use the name of the admin context as the device
ID.
Note If enabled, the device ID does not appear in
EMBLEM-formatted syslog messages nor in SNMP
traps.
