Maximum log level

[Marko Polo]

What is the maximum log verbosity level on stock AsusWRT and on Merlin?
I followed this guide and set level to 9, and now it is empty and shows nothing.

Rather confusingly, BusyBox maps syslog levels 0-7 to 1-8.

# syslogd -?
syslogd: invalid option -- ?
BusyBox v1.25.1 (2017-05-15 07:08:17 MST) multi-call binary.

Usage: syslogd [OPTIONS]

System logging utility
(this version of syslogd ignores /etc/syslog.conf)

        -n              Run in foreground
        -R HOST[:PORT]  Log to HOST:PORT (default PORT:514)
        -L              Log locally and via network (default is network only if -R)
        -O FILE         Log to FILE (default: /var/log/messages, stdout if -)
        -s SIZE         Max size (KB) before rotation (default:200KB, 0=off)
        -b N            N rotated logs to keep (default:1, max=99, 0=purge)
        -l N            Log only messages more urgent than prio N (1-8)
        -S              Smaller output

# syslogd -l 9
syslogd: number 9 is not in 1..8 range
