Configure the System Log
Send system log messages to files, remote destinations, user terminals, or to the system console.
Junos OS generates system log messages (also called syslog messages) to record events that occur on a switch, including the following:
Routine operations, such as creation of an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol adjacency or a user login to the configuration database
Failure and error conditions, such as failure to access a configuration file or unexpected closure of a connection to a peer process
Emergency or critical conditions, such as router power-down due to excessive temperature
For the switches that you manage in the Juniper Mist portal, you can configure syslog in the switch settings.
To configure the system log:
- Click Enabled.
- Click a tab, and then enter the settings.
Tabs:
Files—Send log messages to a named file.
Hosts—Send log messages to a remote location. This could be an IP address or hostname of a device that will be notified whenever those log messages are generated.
Users—Notify a specific user of the log event.
Console—Send log messages of a specified class and severity to the console. Log messages include priority information, which provides details about the facility and severity levels of the log messages.
Archive—Define parameters for archiving log messages.
General—Specify a time format, routing instance, and source address for the log messages.
Tips for Files, Hosts, and Users:Click the Add link, or click an existing file, host, or user to edit.
For example, on the Hosts tab, click a host to edit, or click Add Host.
In the pop-up window, add/enter the information. Or, if you're editing an existing record, you can click the delete button to remove the selected file, host, or user.
Use the Contents section of the pop-up window to specify the messages to be sent. Click Add Content, and then select the Facility and Level. Click the checkmark to save these option. Repeat as needed to identify all messages to be sent.
In the Archive section (for Files only), set the threshold for archiving by specifying the number of files and/or the total file size.
To save the settings in the pop-up window, click Addor Save at the bottom of the window.
