space_left_action syslog

Hi list,
The man page reads space_left_action : syslog means that it will issue a warning to syslog.
Please tell me where can I find an example of such a message to look for it in the syslog ?
Would the message be different for admin_space_left_action and disk_full_action ?
When audispd is configured to send audit events to syslog would these messages follow the same path.
I would like to be able to separate these messages for an easy notice should something go wrong.

Regards.
Philippe

Yes for admin_space_left and disk full is here:
https://fedorahosted.org/audit/browser/trunk/src/auditd-event.c#L571

I suppose a distinction could be made between space_left and 
admin_space_left messages, but if you get either it needs attention right 
away.

Auditd sends them to syslog directly. Because these are not events, audispd 
will never see them.
