12.2. Role of printk on log-levels and kernel logging

Each message the kernel reports has a log-level associated with it that defines the importance of the message. The kernel ring buffer, as described in What is the kernel ring buffer, collects kernel messages of all log-levels. It is the kernel.printk parameter that defines what messages from the buffer are printed to the console.

The log-level values break down in this order:

0
Kernel emergency. The system is unusable.
1
Kernel alert. Action must be taken immediately.
2
Condition of the kernel is considered critical.
3
General kernel error condition.
4
General kernel warning condition.
5
Kernel notice of a normal but significant condition.
6
Kernel informational message.
7
Kernel debug-level messages.

By default, kernel.printk in RHEL 10 has the following values: 

# sysctl kernel.printk
kernel.printk = 7	4	1	7

The four values define the following, in order:

  1. Console log-level, defines the lowest priority of messages printed to the console.
  2. Default log-level for messages without an explicit log-level attached to them.
  3. Sets the lowest possible log-level configuration for the console log-level.

  4. Sets default value for the console log-level at boot time.

    Each of these values defines a different rule for handling error messages.

重要

The default 7 4 1 7 printk value allows for better debugging of kernel activity. However, when coupled with a serial console, this printk setting might cause intense I/O bursts that might lead to a RHEL system becoming temporarily unresponsive. To avoid these situations, setting a printk value of 4 4 1 7 typically works, but at the expense of losing the extra debugging information.

Also note that certain kernel command line parameters, such as quiet or debug, change the default kernel.printk values.

See the syslog(2) man page on your system for more information.
