facility = //PBS_SYSLOG from pbs.conf
severity = // PBS_SYSLOGSEVR from pbs.conf (by default NONE)
Methods:
def get_log_type(syslog=None)
Summary: logic for which messages to read (local logs / syslog)
...
syslog - by default falseNone
Description:
1) read from PBS.conf - PBS_SYSLOG & PBS_LOCALLOG.
...
b) If PBS_SYSLOG is not set, we will locally in code set variable PBS_SYSLOG=0
c) If PBS_LOCALLOG is not set, we will locally in code set variable PBS_LOCALLOG=1
Therefore this will check into the local logs only if values are not set (see line 3 in below table)
2) Logic for whether to read local logs/ syslog we will follow this table -

Note: In row 7 where we have to match in both syslog and local log, we would have to call _log_match() twice.
...
Note: The error thrown will be PtlLogMatchError
Return:
self.file_to_check (/ / file_to_check =1 for syslog, file_to_check=2 for local logs and file_to_check=3 for both)

class PBSService(PBSObject)
def log_match(syslog=FalseNone)
// Additions:
syslog: If the user wants to read into syslog file? By default false
...
Description:
1) if attribute syslog = true, enable syslog parameter in pbs.conf and disable PBS_LOCALOG. Set x = 1.Skip step 2 and go to step 3 below. 2) if syslog = false run PBSSyslogUtils.get_log_type() to check if local logs/ syslog is to be checked
x= PBSSyslogUtils.get_log_type(syslog=syslog)
3 2) if x =1 or 3 - read _log_match(syslog=true)
43) if x = 2 or 3 - read _log_match(syslog=false)
54) if 3 and 4 pass return the value
