The logfacility is used to tell Heartbeat[1] which syslog logging facility it should use for logging its messages.
The possible values for logfacility vary by operating system, but some of the most common ones are {auth, authpriv, daemon, syslog, user, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6, local7}.
A sample logfacility directive is shown below:
logfacility local7
If you want to disable logging to syslog:
logfacility none
