Syslog severity in Netsight

Syslog severity in Netsight

My idea was to create severity alarm based on syslog messages i ECM. But I noticed that all syslog messages are logged and displayed with one severity INFO. Severity is coded in first 3 bits of every syslog message. But ECM is ignoring original severity.
Is there any explanation for such behavior?
Can ECM log syslog messages with original severity?

Thanks for your advices.

Hello,
i tried to modify rsyslog.conf.
I got severity in 3 first characters of messages in syslog file. But unfortunately ECM doesn't show these messages in SYSLOG events.
ex. of syslog file:
<6>Nov 24 09:14:18 Fima-03 AAA: Login passed for user admin through xml (172.16.69.100)<6>Nov 24 09:14:20 Fima-03 AAA: User admin logout from xml (172.16.69.100)
<4>Nov 24 09:16:09 172.16.69.6 snmp: SNMP Security access violation from 172.16.100.69

EMC is still showing all messages as severity info even I've some with <3> which should be Error.
