[Samba] Logging levels

I recently upgraded from Samba v3.6.25 to v4.3.3. After the upgrade, I
realized I should change my smb.conf because the syslog parameters are
deprecated. My old parameters were:
log level = 1
syslog = 6
syslog only = yes
Also, I built Samba with --with-syslog-facility=LOG_LOCAL7.
I'm having trouble replicating the same configuration with v4.3.3. The
syslog facility configure option was removed, so I'm not sure how to
specify the facility. It uses LOG_DAEMON. Is there a way to specify the
syslog facility?
My configuration now is:
log level = 1
logging = syslog at 1
With the old configuration, my log mostly contained connect/disconnect
lines, such as this:
Jan 9 00:10:47 chernobyl smbd[18850]: [ID 702911 local7.warning] [2016/01/09 00:10:47.965695, 1] smbd/service.c:1114(make_connection_snum)
Jan 9 00:10:47 chernobyl smbd[18850]: [ID 702911 local7.warning] desktop-8iq6iou (10.249.230.47) connect to service klimanf initially as user klimanf (uid=88308, gid=300) (pid 18850)
Jan 9 00:11:13 chernobyl smbd[18850]: [ID 702911 local7.warning] [2016/01/09 00:11:13.416222, 1] smbd/service.c:1378(close_cnum)
Jan 9 00:11:13 chernobyl smbd[18850]: [ID 702911 local7.warning] desktop-8iq6iou (10.249.230.47) closed connection to service klimanf
But these aren't logged anymore at log level = 1. At log level = 2, I get
the connect/disconnect lines, but I also get log entries for every file
that is opened, log entries from loadparm, stuff about authentication, and
more. Too much detail! :)
Does anyone have recommended log settings or know how I can replicate the
old behavior?
Thanks,
Andy
