Probably a real simple syslog question..

I've got out asa writing to a syslog server running on win2k3 box. Going through the logs, there's this one column that obviously means something, but I cant figure out what it is. Here's a clip from one of my logs:

<164>Feb 28 2009 07:03:52: %ASA-4-400010: IDS:2000 ICMP echo reply from 192.168.1.1 to 10.1.1.2 on interface outside

What is that "<164>" and what does it mean? Every single message that is logged has "<164>" beside it, and occasionally I'll see <161> logged when someone uses the ssl/vpn. what are those numbers??

Thanks!!

It could mean the priority such as Info, Notice, Warning, etc. What syslog are you running??

That was my first thought, but I'm use to the 0-7 type of priority/severity.
