Monitoring Events and Managing System Log Files

Junos OS supports configuring and monitoring of system log messages (also called syslog messages). You can configure files to log system messages and also assign attributes, such as severity levels, to messages. The View Events page on the J-Web interface enables you to filter and view system log messages.

For more information about system log messages, see the Junos System Log Messages Reference.
