Interpret System Log Message Descriptions

This manual uses a reference page format to describe system log messages. Table 7 describes the sections in a reference entry.

Table 7: System Log Message Fields

The prefix on each code identifies the JUNOS software process that generated the message and the rest of the code indicates the specific event or error. Table 6 lists the prefixes and processes for which this manual includes reference entries. The second line in this field is a brief description generated by the JUNOS software process. The process substitutes specific values for the variable names that appear in italics in the reference entries.
