At the start of each msg is a number, either 133 or 85 - Does anybody know what the significance / meaning of these numbers is and if there is a list defined anywhere

i understand it is priority number.

  (numeric value of facility) * 8 + (numeric value of severity)

In addition I have bolded numbers in brackets - Is there an explanation of these numbers anywhere?

it is process id.
