Description

As per Syslog RFC, priority = (facility * 8) + severity, given this logic, the code to calculate facility and severity from priority should be

severity = priority % 8 ;
facility = (priority - severity) / 8 ;

But in SyslogUtils's buildEvent method
facility = priority - severity

i.e. the / 8 is missing.
