Logging

The following example uses messages from Linux facility cron as input, filters the messages for those that have critical priority, and sends the filtered messages to the file /var/log/srlinux/file/cron-critical:

--{ * candidate shared default }--[  ]--
# info system logging
 system {
     logging {
         file cron-critical {
                facility cron {
                    priority {
                        match-exact [
                            critical
                        ]
                    }
                }
         }
     }
 }

The following example sends messages matching criteria specified in filter f1 to the file /var/log/srlinux/file/f1-match:

--{ * candidate shared default }--[  ]--
# info system logging
 system {
     logging {
         file f1-match {
                filter [
                    f1
                ]
         }
     }
 }

The following example uses messages generated by the SR Linux AAA subsystem (that is, messages generated by the aaa_mgr application, but not including accounting messages) as input. The messages are filtered for those that have warning or informational priority, and the filtered messages are sent to the file /var/log/srlinux/file/aaa-warn-info.

--{ * candidate shared default }--[  ]--
# info system logging
 system {
     logging {
         file aaa-warn-info {
                subsystem aaa {
                    priority {
                        match-exact [
                            warning
                            informational
                        ]
                    }
                }
         }
     }
 }

The following example sends messages matching criteria specified in filter f1 to the buffer /var/log/srlinux/buffer/f1-match. A retention policy is specified so that when the buffer reaches 5,000,000 bytes, messages are written to a new buffer. After five buffers are filled, the oldest one is overwritten.

--{ * candidate shared default }--[  ]--
# info system logging
 system {
     logging {
         buffer f1-match {
                rotate 5
                size 5000000
                filter [
                    f1
                ]
         }
     }
 }

The following example uses messages generated by the SR Linux accounting subsystem as input, filters the messages for those that have informational priority or higher, and sends the filtered messages to /dev/console:

--{ * candidate shared default }--[  ]--
# info system logging
 system {
     logging {
         console {
                subsystem accounting {
                    priority {
                        match-above informational
                    }
                }
         }
     }
 }

The following example uses messages generated by the SR Linux BGP subsystem (that is, messages generated by the bgp_mgr application) as input, filters the messages for those that have alert priority or higher, and sends the filtered messages to a remote server. The messages are sourced from the mgmt network-instance.

--{ * candidate shared default }--[  ]--
# info system logging
 system {
     logging {
         network-instance mgmt
         remote-server 1.1.2.2 {
                subsystem bgp {
                    priority {
                        match-above alert
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
 }
