Step 1: Configure the Log File for Tracking CLI Commands

Action

To configure the log file for tracking CLI commands, follow these steps:

1. In configuration mode, go to the following hierarchy level:

[edit]

user@host# edit system syslog 

2. Configure the log file:

[edit system syslog]

user@host# edit file filename

For example:

[edit system syslog]

user@host# edit file cli-commands

3. Configure the interactive-commands facility and severity level:

[edit system syslog filename]

user@host# set interactive-commands info 

4. Verify the configuration:

[edit system syslog]

user@host# show 

file cli-commands {

    interactive-commands info;

}

5. Commit the configuration:

user@host# commit

What It Means

The configuration example shows that the log file cli-commands is configured with the interactive-commands facility at the info severity level. Table 47 lists and describes the severity levels.
