Messages that I log below ASL_LEVEL_NOTICE aren't showing up in
Console at all. Here's my test case:
aslclient client = asl_open(NULL, NULL, ASL_OPT_STDERR);
asl_set_filter(client, ASL_FILTER_MASK_UPTO(ASL_LEVEL_DEBUG));
asl_log(client, NULL, ASL_LEVEL_WARNING, This shows up in Console...);
This is by design. The syslogd daemon filters such messages out.
See man syslog (and possibly also man syslogd) on how to change the
server side filtering.

Are you sure about this? the asl(3) and syslog(1) manpages both state,
The master filter mask usually has a value that indicates to the
library that it is off, and thus it has no effect.
Calling syslog -c 0 and syslog -c process on my machine both print
... filter mask: Off.

I am rather sure because I logged the following radar on this issue:

messages
Apple engineering replied with statements such as:

Huh, that's an interesting behavior. After running that command on my
machine, debug and info level messages are indeed being logged.
Thanks for your help, and for sharing what engineering told you.
