Description
Specify a text substring that must appear in a message that is logged to a destination. If multiple strings are configured, the message is logged to the given destination if any of the substrings are matched.
The match-strings statement performs a simple string
comparison, and as a result, it is less CPU-intensive than using the match statement to match against complex regular expressions.
If you configure both the match and match-strings statements for the same destination, Junos OS evaluates the match-strings condition first; if the message includes any
of the configured substrings, then the message is logged and the match condition is not evaluated. If the match-strings condition is not satisfied, then the system evaluates the message
against the regular expression in the match configuration
statement.
Options
| string | String or list of strings against which to match messages to log.
