Log a Message About a Commit Operation Using the Junos XML Protocol
In a Junos XML protocol session with a device running
Junos OS, to log a comment when performing a commit operation, a client
application encloses the <log> tag element
in <commit-configuration> and <rpc> tag elements:
<rpc>
<commit-configuration>
<log>message</log>
</commit-configuration>
</rpc>The <log> element can be combined
with other tags within the <commit-configuration> tag element (the <at-time>, <confirmed/>, and <confirm-timeout>, or <synchronize/> tag elements) and
does not change the effect of the operation. When the <log> tag element is emitted by itself, the associated
commit operation begins immediately.
The following example shows how to log a message as the candidate configuration is committed.
The commit history, which includes any commit comments,
stores an entry for each pending commit and up to 50 previous commits
for the standard configuration database. To request the history, a
client application encloses the <get-commit-information/> tag in <rpc> tag elements. The equivalent
operational mode CLI command is show system commit.
<rpc>
<get-commit-information/>
</rpc>
The Junos XML protocol server encloses the information
in <commit-information> and <rpc-reply> tag elements. For information about
the child tag elements of the <commit-information> tag element, see its entry in the Junos XML API Operational Developer Reference.
<rpc-reply xmlns:junos="URL">
<commit-information>
<!-- tag elements representing the commit log -->
</commit-information>
</rpc-reply>
The following example shows how to request the commit log.
