This variable is used to specify the `priority` value for syslog. This
variable has the same meaning as the appropriate parameter described in the
[syslog(3) manual](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/syslog.3.html).
This variable is used to specify the severity level for syslog. The
`audit_log_syslog_priority` variable does not include the facility; it only
selects the severity level (`LOG_EMERG` … `LOG_DEBUG`).

The full syslog priority that `syslog()` receives is built internally by OR-ing
the configured facility (`audit_log_syslog_facility`) with this level.

The default `LOG_INFO` means "ordinary informational messages"; you can raise or
lower the level as needed, while the facility stays at its default unless you
change it explicitly.

For more details about syslog priority levels, see the [syslog(3)
manual](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/syslog.3.html).
