Configuring System Logging for a TX Matrix Router
To configure system logging for all routers in a routing matrix composed of a TX Matrix router and T640 routers, include the syslog statement at the [edit system] hierarchy level on the TX Matrix router. The syslog statement applies to every router in the routing matrix.
[edit system]syslog {archive <files number> <size size <world-readable | no-world-readable>;console {facility severity;}file filename {facility severity;archive <archive-sites {ftp-url <password password>}> <files number> <size size> <start-time "YYYY-MM-DD.hh:mm"> <transfer-interval minutes> <world-readable | no-world-readable>;explicit-priority;match "regular-expression";structured-data {brief;}}host (hostname | other-routing-engine | scc-master) {facility severity;explicit-priority;facility-override facility;log-prefix string;match "regular-expression";source-address source-address;port port number;}source-address source-address;time-format (year | millisecond | year millisecond); (username | *) {facility severity;match "regular-expression";}}
When included in the configuration on the TX Matrix router, the following configuration statements have the same effect as on a single-chassis system, except that they apply to every router in the routing matrix:
- archive—Sets the size and number of log files on each platform in the routing matrix. See Specifying Log File Size, Number, and Archiving Properties.
- console—Directs the specified messages to the console of each platform in the routing matrix. See Directing System Log Messages to the Console.
- file—Directs the specified messages to a file of the same name on each platform in the routing matrix. See Directing System Log Messages to a Log File.
- match—Limits the set of messages logged
to a destination to those that contain (or do not contain) a text
string matching a regular expression. See Using Regular Expressions to Refine the Set of Logged Messages.
The separate match statement at the [edit system syslog host scc-master] hierarchy level applies to messages forwarded from the T640 routers to the TX Matrix router. See Configuring Optional Features for Forwarded Messages on a TX Matrix Router.
- port—Specifies the port number of the remote syslog server.
- source-address—Sets the IP address of the router to report in system log messages as the message source, when the messages are directed to the remote machines specified in all host hostname statements at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level, for each platform in the routing matrix. On a routing matrix composed of a TX Matrix router and T640 routers, the address is not reported by the T640 routers in messages directed to the other Routing Engine on each router or to the TX Matrix router. See Specifying an Alternative Source Address for System Log Messages.
- structured-data—Writes messages to a file in structured-data format. See Logging Messages in Structured-Data Format.
- time-format—Adds the millisecond, year, or both to the timestamp in each standard-format message. See Including the Year or Millisecond in Timestamps.
- user—Directs the specified messages to the terminal session of one or more specified users on each platform in the routing matrix that they are logged in to. See Directing System Log Messages to a User Terminal.
The effect of the other statements differs somewhat for a routing matrix than for a single-chassis system.
