Examples: Displaying a Log File
Display the contents of the /var/log/messages file stored on the local Routing Engine. (The /var/log directory is the default location for log files, so you do not need to include it in the filename. The messages file is a commonly configured destination for system log messages.)
user@host> show log messages Apr 11 10:27:25 router1 mgd[3606]: UI_DBASE_LOGIN_EVENT: User 'barbara' entering configuration mode Apr 11 10:32:22 router1 mgd[3606]: UI_DBASE_LOGOUT_EVENT: User 'barbara' exiting configuration mode Apr 11 11:36:15 router1 mgd[3606]: UI_COMMIT: User 'root' performed commit: no comment Apr 11 11:46:37 router1 mib2d[2905]: SNMP_TRAP_LINK_DOWN: ifIndex 82, ifAdminStatus up(1), ifOperStatus down(2), ifName at-1/0/0
Display the contents of the file /var/log/processes, which has been previously configured to include messages from the daemon facility. When issuing the file show command, you must specify the full pathname of the file:
user@host> file show /var/log/processes Feb 22 08:58:24 router1 snmpd[359]: SNMPD_TRAP_WARM_START: trap_generate_warm: SNMP trap: warm start Feb 22 20:35:07 router1 snmpd[359]: SNMPD_THROTTLE_QUEUE_DRAINED: trap_throttle_timer_handler: cleared all throttled traps Feb 23 07:34:56 router1 snmpd[359]: SNMPD_TRAP_WARM_START: trap_generate_warm: SNMP trap: warm start Feb 23 07:38:19 router1 snmpd[359]: SNMPD_TRAP_COLD_START: trap_generate_cold: SNMP trap: cold start
Display the contents of the file /var/log/processes when the explicit-priority statement is included at the [edit system syslog file processes] hierarchy level:
user@host> file show /var/log/processes Feb 22 08:58:24 router1 snmpd[359]: %DAEMON-3-SNMPD_TRAP_WARM_START: trap_generate_warm: SNMP trap: warm start Feb 22 20:35:07 router1 snmpd[359]: %DAEMON-6-SNMPD_THROTTLE_QUEUE_DRAINED: trap_throttle_timer_handler: cleared all throttled traps Feb 23 07:34:56 router1 snmpd[359]: %DAEMON-3-SNMPD_TRAP_WARM_START: trap_generate_warm: SNMP trap: warm start Feb 23 07:38:19 router1 snmpd[359]: %DAEMON-2-SNMPD_TRAP_COLD_START: trap_generate_cold: SNMP trap: cold start
