syslog not showing log levels in messages
Here is sample output of my syslog messages in /var/log/syslog:
Nov 15 20:20:48 ubuntu winbindd[915]: [2011/11/15 20:20:48.940063, 0] winbindd/idmap_tdb.c:287(idmap_tdb_open_db)
Nov 15 20:20:48 ubuntu winbindd[915]: Upgrade of IDMAP_VERSION from -1 to 2 is not possible with incomplete configuration
How do I see what was the level of message, like info, warn, error etc.?
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with rsyslog package version 5.8.1-1ubuntu2.

That is the default traditional format.
To output log levels in messages (technically known as priorities), you should change the default template used by rsyslog:
open with admin privileges the file
/etc/rsyslog.confand add the following lines
$template precise,"%syslogpriority%,%syslogfacility%,%timegenerated%,%HOSTNAME%,%syslogtag%,%msg%n"
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate precise
after the line
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
restart the daemon, with the command:
sudo service rsyslog restart
Now you should see lines like the following:
6,5,Nov 18 10:17:02,acer,rsyslogd:, [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.1" x-pid="7064" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] exiting on signal 15.
where the first two numbers (6 and 5) represent respectively the priority and the facility, where the priority is given by
7 - debug
6 - info
5 - notice
4 - warning, warn
3 - err, error
2 - crit,
1 - alert,
0 - emerg, panic
and the facilities can be seen in the syslog(3) man page.

if you tried the same thing on a different system I would suggest that you post a new question saying what the problem is and provide a link to this post say that you have tried the answers here and then note your results. Also, since this is for a different system this post may be better suited for a different StackExchange site such as unix stackexchange
