Configure the System Log
Send system log messages to files, remote destinations, user terminals, or to the system console.
Junos OS generates system log messages (also called syslog messages) to record events that occur on a switch, including the following:
-
Routine operations, such as creation of an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol adjacency or a user login to the configuration database
-
Failure and error conditions, such as failure to access a configuration file or unexpected closure of a connection to a peer process
-
Emergency or critical conditions, such as router power-down due to excessive temperature
For the switches that you manage in the Juniper Mist portal, you can configure syslog in the switch settings.
