Using rsyslog with CLI
Refer to understanding linux logging for understaning more about syslogs and linux logging
Here we discuss about using rsyslog wih cli, and how it can be used to log messages through CLI and also send priority messages

[root@midas rsyslog.d]#Sending rsyslog messages with priority
Priority is a critical part of logging, we need to set the priority of the message basis its severity.
Emergency Priority
Messages with emergency priority are configured such as they get rerouted to console, terminals, and ssh sessions. rsyslog allows such messages to be sent through cli which allows them to be immediately viewed by the other uses.
Run the following command from any terminal
[root@midas rsyslog.d]# logger -p emerg "this is the emergency message"You will get following message on all the terminals
[centos@midas ~]$
