Mysterious string "<4>" in LOG

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

A mysterious string "<4>" gets prepended in LOG:
Rule:
 iptables -A INPUT  -m state --state INVALID -m limit --limit 7200/h -j LOG --log-prefix "INPUT INVALID "

Result (sanitized):
Sep 15 11:46:17 s7 kernel: [227009.792828] <4>INPUT INVALID IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:1b:21:ad:7b:d3:00:0c:db:4e:e8:00:08:00 SRC=**.210.155.237 DST=**.114.132.147 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=52 ID=49676 PROTO=TCP SPT=6667 DPT=46271 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 ACK SYN URGP=0

Happens with all LOG entries.
Is the string "<4>" in front of "INPUT INVALID" a new feature, or is it garbage due to a bug?


My system:
