END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

READ THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (AGREEMENT) BEFORE DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE. BY DOWNLOADING,
INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE EXPRESSING YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, YOU (AS CUSTOMER
OR IF YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER, AS A REPRESENTATIVE/AGENT AUTHORIZED TO BIND THE CUSTOMER) CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THIS
AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT OR CANNOT AGREE TO THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, THEN (A) DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE THE SOFTWARE,
AND (B) YOU MAY CONTACT JUNIPER NETWORKS REGARDING LICENSE TERMS.
1. The Parties. The parties to this Agreement are (i) Juniper Networks, Inc. (if the Customers principal office is located in the Americas) or Juniper Networks
(Cayman) Limited (if the Customers principal office is located outside the Americas) (such applicable entity being referred to herein as Juniper), and (ii)
the person or organization that originally purchased from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller the applicable license(s) for use of the Software (Customer)
(collectively, the Parties).
2. The Software. In this Agreement, Software means the program modules and features of the Juniper or Juniper-supplied software, for which Customer
has paid the applicable license or support fees to Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller, or which was embedded by Juniper in equipment which Customer
purchased from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller. Software also includes updates, upgrades and new releases of such software. Embedded
Software means Software which Juniper has embedded in or loaded onto the Juniper equipment and any updates, upgrades, additions or replacements
which are subsequently embedded in or loaded onto the equipment.
3. License Grant. Subject to payment of the applicable fees and the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, Juniper grants to Customer a non-exclusive
and non-transferable license, without right to sublicense, to use the Software, in executable form only, subject to the following use restrictions:
a. Customer shall use Embedded Software solely as embedded in, and for execution on, Juniper equipment originally purchased by Customer from Juniper
or an authorized Juniper reseller.
b. Customer shall use the Software on a single hardware chassis having a single processing unit, or as many chassis or processing units for which Customer
has paid the applicable license fees; provided, however, with respect to the Steel-Belted Radius or Odyssey Access Client software only, Customer shall use
such Software on a single computer containing a single physical random access memory space and containing any number of processors. Use of the
Steel-Belted Radius or IMS AAA software on multiple computers or virtual machines (e.g., Solaris zones) requires multiple licenses, regardless of whether
such computers or virtualizations are physically contained on a single chassis.
c. Product purchase documents, paper or electronic user documentation, and/or the particular licenses purchased by Customer may specify limits to
Customers use of the Software. Such limits may restrict use to a maximum number of seats, registered endpoints, concurrent users, sessions, calls,
connections, subscribers, clusters, nodes, realms, devices, links, ports or transactions, or require the purchase of separate licenses to use particular features,
functionalities, services, applications, operations, or capabilities, or provide throughput, performance, configuration, bandwidth, interface, processing,
temporal, or geographical limits. In addition, such limits may restrict the use of the Software to managing certain kinds of networks or require the Software
to be used only in conjunction with other specific Software. Customers use of the Software shall be subject to all such limitations and purchase of all applicable
licenses.
d. For any trial copy of the Software, Customers right to use the Software expires 30 days after download, installation or use of the Software. Customer
may operate the Software after the 30-day trial period only if Customer pays for a license to do so. Customer may not extend or create an additional trial
period by re-installing the Software after the 30-day trial period.
e. The Global Enterprise Edition of the Steel-Belted Radius software may be used by Customer only to manage access to Customers enterprise network.
Specifically, service provider customers are expressly prohibited from using the Global Enterprise Edition of the Steel-Belted Radius software to support any
commercial network access services.
The foregoing license is not transferable or assignable by Customer. No license is granted herein to any user who did not originally purchase the applicable
license(s) for the Software from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller.
4. Use Prohibitions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license provided herein does not permit the Customer to, and Customer agrees not to and shall
not: (a) modify, unbundle, reverse engineer, or create derivative works based on the Software; (b) make unauthorized copies of the Software (except as
necessary for backup purposes); (c) rent, sell, transfer, or grant any rights in and to any copy of the Software, in any form, to any third party; (d) remove
any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on or in any copy of the Software or any product in which the Software is embedded; (e) distribute any copy of
the Software to any third party, including as may be embedded in Juniper equipment sold in the secondhand market; (f) use any locked or key-restricted
feature, function, service, application, operation, or capability without first purchasing the applicable license(s) and obtaining a valid key from Juniper, even
if such feature, function, service, application, operation, or capability is enabled without a key; (g) distribute any key for the Software provided by Juniper
to any third party; (h) use the Software in any manner that extends or is broader than the uses purchased by Customer from Juniper or an authorized Juniper
reseller; (i) use Embedded Software on non-Juniper equipment; (j) use Embedded Software (or make it available for use) on Juniper equipment that the
Customer did not originally purchase from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller; (k) disclose the results of testing or benchmarking of the Software to
any third party without the prior written consent of Juniper; or (l) use the Software in any manner other than as expressly provided herein.
5. Audit. Customer shall maintain accurate records as necessary to verify compliance with this Agreement. Upon request by Juniper, Customer shall furnish
such records to Juniper and certify its compliance with this Agreement.

iii

6. Confidentiality. The Parties agree that aspects of the Software and associated documentation are the confidential property of Juniper. As such, Customer
shall exercise all reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the Software and associated documentation in confidence, which at a minimum includes
restricting access to the Software to Customer employees and contractors having a need to use the Software for Customers internal business purposes.
7. Ownership. Juniper and Junipers licensors, respectively, retain ownership of all right, title, and interest (including copyright) in and to the Software,
associated documentation, and all copies of the Software. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a transfer or conveyance of any right, title, or interest in
the Software or associated documentation, or a sale of the Software, associated documentation, or copies of the Software.
8. Warranty, Limitation of Liability, Disclaimer of Warranty. The warranty applicable to the Software shall be as set forth in the warranty statement that
accompanies the Software (the Warranty Statement). Nothing in this Agreement shall give rise to any obligation to support the Software. Support services
may be purchased separately. Any such support shall be governed by a separate, written support services agreement. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, JUNIPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR COSTS OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES,
OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY JUNIPER OR
JUNIPER-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE. IN NO EVENT SHALL JUNIPER BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED OR IMPROPER USE OF ANY
JUNIPER OR JUNIPER-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE WARRANTY STATEMENT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
JUNIPER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES IN AND TO THE SOFTWARE (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT DOES JUNIPER
WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY EQUIPMENT OR NETWORK RUNNING THE SOFTWARE, WILL OPERATE WITHOUT ERROR OR INTERRUPTION,
OR WILL BE FREE OF VULNERABILITY TO INTRUSION OR ATTACK. In no event shall Junipers or its suppliers or licensors liability to Customer, whether
in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of warranty, or otherwise, exceed the price paid by Customer for the Software that gave rise to the claim, or
if the Software is embedded in another Juniper product, the price paid by Customer for such other product. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Juniper
has set its prices and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same
reflect an allocation of risk between the Parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss),
and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties.
9. Termination. Any breach of this Agreement or failure by Customer to pay any applicable fees due shall result in automatic termination of the license
granted herein. Upon such termination, Customer shall destroy or return to Juniper all copies of the Software and related documentation in Customers
possession or control.
10. Taxes. All license fees payable under this agreement are exclusive of tax. Customer shall be responsible for paying Taxes arising from the purchase of
the license, or importation or use of the Software. If applicable, valid exemption documentation for each taxing jurisdiction shall be provided to Juniper prior
to invoicing, and Customer shall promptly notify Juniper if their exemption is revoked or modified. All payments made by Customer shall be net of any
applicable withholding tax. Customer will provide reasonable assistance to Juniper in connection with such withholding taxes by promptly: providing Juniper
with valid tax receipts and other required documentation showing Customers payment of any withholding taxes; completing appropriate applications that
would reduce the amount of withholding tax to be paid; and notifying and assisting Juniper in any audit or tax proceeding related to transactions hereunder.
Customer shall comply with all applicable tax laws and regulations, and Customer will promptly pay or reimburse Juniper for all costs and damages related
to any liability incurred by Juniper as a result of Customers non-compliance or delay with its responsibilities herein. Customers obligations under this
Section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
11. Export. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable export laws and restrictions and regulations of any United States and any applicable foreign
agency or authority, and not to export or re-export the Software or any direct product thereof in violation of any such restrictions, laws or regulations, or
without all necessary approvals. Customer shall be liable for any such violations. The version of the Software supplied to Customer may contain encryption
or other capabilities restricting Customers ability to export the Software without an export license.
12. Commercial Computer Software. The Software is commercial computer software and is provided with restricted rights. Use, duplication, or disclosure
by the United States government is subject to restrictions set forth in this Agreement and as provided in DFARS 227.7201 through 227.7202-4, FAR 12.212,
FAR 27.405(b)(2), FAR 52.227-19, or FAR 52.227-14(ALT III) as applicable.
13. Interface Information. To the extent required by applicable law, and at Customer's written request, Juniper shall provide Customer with the interface
information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created program, on payment of applicable fee, if any.
Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information and shall use such information in compliance with any applicable
terms and conditions upon which Juniper makes such information available.
14. Third Party Software. Any licensor of Juniper whose software is embedded in the Software and any supplier of Juniper whose products or technology
are embedded in (or services are accessed by) the Software shall be a third party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement, and such licensor or vendor
shall have the right to enforce this Agreement in its own name as if it were Juniper. In addition, certain third party software may be provided with the
Software and is subject to the accompanying license(s), if any, of its respective owner(s). To the extent portions of the Software are distributed under and
subject to open source licenses obligating Juniper to make the source code for such portions publicly available (such as the GNU General Public License
(GPL) or the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL)), Juniper will make such source code portions (including Juniper modifications, as appropriate)
available upon request for a period of up to three years from the date of distribution. Such request can be made in writing to Juniper Networks, Inc., 1194
N. Mathilda Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94089, ATTN: General Counsel. You may obtain a copy of the GPL at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html, and

15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to its conflicts of laws principles. The provisions
of the U.N. Convention for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. For any disputes arising under this Agreement, the Parties
hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts within Santa Clara County, California. This Agreement
constitutes the entire and sole agreement between Juniper and the Customer with respect to the Software, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous

iv

agreements relating to the Software, whether oral or written (including any inconsistent terms contained in a purchase order), except that the terms of a
separate written agreement executed by an authorized Juniper representative and Customer shall govern to the extent such terms are inconsistent or conflict
with terms contained herein. No modification to this Agreement nor any waiver of any rights hereunder shall be effective unless expressly assented to in
writing by the party to be charged. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid, the Parties agree that such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the
remainder of this Agreement. This Agreement and associated documentation has been written in the English language, and the Parties agree that the English
version will govern. (For Canada: Les parties aux prsents confirment leur volont que cette convention de mme que tous les documents y compris tout

Using the Examples in This Manual

If you want to use the examples in this manual, you can use the load merge or the
load merge relative command. These commands cause the software to merge the
incoming configuration into the current candidate configuration. If the example
configuration contains the top level of the hierarchy (or multiple hierarchies), the
example is a full example. In this case, use the load merge command
If the example configuration does not start at the top level of the hierarchy, the
example is a snippet. In this case, use the load merge relative command. These
procedures are described in the following sections.

Merging a Full Example

To merge a full example, follow these steps:
1.

xlviii

From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration example
into a text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your
routing platform.

Supported Routing Platforms

About This Guide

For example, copy the following configuration to a file and name the file
ex-script.conf. Copy the ex-script.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing
platform.
system {
scripts {
commit {
file ex-script.xsl;
}
}
}
interfaces {
fxp0 {
disable;
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.0.0.1/24;
}
}
}
}
2.

Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing
the load merge configuration mode command:
[edit]
user@host# load merge /var/tmp/ex-script.conf
load complete

Merging a Snippet
To merge a snippet, follow these steps:
1.

From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration snippet into
a text file, save the file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your
routing platform.
For example, copy the following snippet to a file and name the file
ex-script-snippet.conf. Copy the ex-script-snippet.conf file to the /var/tmp directory
on your routing platform.
commit {
file ex-script-snippet.xsl;
}

2.

Move to the hierarchy level that is relevant for this snippet by issuing the following
configuration mode command:
[edit]
user@host# edit system scripts
[edit system scripts]

3.

Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing
the load merge relative configuration mode command:

Using the Examples in This Manual

Overview

Chapter 1

Configuring System Log Messages

The JUNOS software generates system log messages (also called syslog messages)
to record events that occur on the routing platform, including the following:

Routine operations, such as creation of an OSPF protocol adjacency or a user

login into 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 routing platform power-down due to

excessive temperature

Each system log message identifies the JUNOS software process that generated the
message and briefly describes the operation or error that occurred. This reference
provides more detailed information about each system log message and, when
applicable, describes possible causes of the message and action you can take to
correct error conditions.

NOTE: The configuration hierarchy in this chapter applies to JUNOS software processes
and libraries, not to the services on a Physical Interface Card (PIC) such as the
Adaptive Services PIC. For information about configuring system logging for PIC
services, see the JUNOS Services Interfaces Configuration Guide.
For information about interpreting messages generated by services on a PIC, see
Interpreting Messages Generated in Standard Format by Services on a
PIC on page 44.

To record or view system log messages, you must include the syslog statement at
the [edit system] hierarchy level. Specify at least one destination for the messages,
as described in Table 7 on page 5. For more information about the configuration
statements, see Configuring System Logging for a Single-Chassis System on page 7.

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

In addition, the following messages are generated by default on specific platforms.

To view either type of message, you must configure at least one destination for
messages as described in Minimum System Logging Configuration on page 5

On J-series platforms, a message is logged when a process running in the kernel

consumes 500 or more consecutive milliseconds of CPU time.
To log the message on an M-series, MX-series, or T-series platform, include the
kernel info statement at the appropriate hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog]
(console | file filename | host destination | user username) {
kernel info;
}

The master Routing Engine on each T640 routing node in a routing matrix
forwards to the master Routing Engine on the TX Matrix platform all messages
with a severity of info and higher. This is equivalent to the following configuration
statement included on the TX Matrix platform:
[edit system syslog]
host scc-master {
any info;
}

Configuring System Logging for a Single-Chassis System

The JUNOS system logging utility is similar to the UNIX syslogd utility. This section
describes how to configure system logging for a single-chassis system that runs the
JUNOS software.
System logging configuration for the JUNOS-FIPS software and for Juniper Networks
routing platforms in a Common Criteria environment is the same as for the JUNOS
software. For more information, see the Secure Configuration Guide for Common
Criteria and JUNOS-FIPS.
For information about configuring system logging for a routing matrix, see
Configuring System Logging for a Routing Matrix on page 28.
Each system log message belongs to a facility, which groups together related
messages. Each message is also preassigned a severity level, which indicates how
seriously the triggering event affects routing platform functions. You always specify
the facility and severity of the messages to include in the log. For more information,
see Specifying the Facility and Severity of Messages to Include in the
Log on page 9.

Configuring System Logging for a Single-Chassis System

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

You direct messages to one or more destinations by including the appropriate

statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level:

To a named file in a local file system, by including the file statement. See
Directing Messages to a Log File on page 11

To the terminal session of one or more specific users (or all users) when they
are logged in to the routing platform, by including the user statement. See
Directing Messages to a User Terminal on page 12

To the routing platform console, by including the console statement. See

Directing Messages to the Console on page 13

To a remote machine that is running the syslogd utility or to the other Routing
Engine on the routing platform, by including the host statement. See Directing
Messages to a Remote Machine or the Other Routing Engine on page 13

By default, messages are logged in a standard format, which is based on a UNIX

system log format; for detailed information, see Interpreting System Log
Messages on page 38. You can alter the content and format of logged messages in
the following ways:

In JUNOS 8.3 and later, you can log messages to a file in structured-data format
instead of the standard JUNOS format. Structured-data format provides more
information without adding significant length, and makes it easier for automated
applications to extract information from the message. For more information,
see Logging Messages in Structured-Data Format on page 12

A messages facility and severity level are together referred to as its priority. By
default, the standard JUNOS format for messages does not include priority
information. (Structured-data format includes a priority code by default.) To
include priority information in standard-format messages directed to a file or a
remote destination, include the explicit-priority statement. For more information,
see Including Priority Information in System Log Messages on page 19

By default, the standard JUNOS format for messages specifies the month, date,
hour, minute, and second when the message was logged. You can modify the
timestamp on standard-format messages to include the year, the millisecond,
or both. (Structured-data format specifies the year and millisecond by default.)
For more information, see Including the Year or Millisecond in
Timestamps on page 22

When directing messages to a remote machine, you can specify the IP address
that is reported in messages as their source. You can also configure features that
make it easier to separate JUNOS-specific messages or messages generated on
particular routing platforms. For more information, see Directing Messages to
a Remote Machine or the Other Routing Engine on page 13

The predefined facilities group together related messages, but you can also use
regular expressions to specify more exactly which messages from a facility are
logged to a file, a user terminal, or a remote destination. For more information,
see Using Regular Expressions to Refine the Set of Logged Messages on page 23

Specifying the Facility and Severity of Messages to Include in the Log

Each system log message belongs to a facility, which groups together messages that
either are generated by the same source (such as a software process) or concern a
similar condition or activity (such as authentication attempts). Each message is also
preassigned a severity level, which indicates how seriously the triggering event affects
routing platform functions.
When you configure logging for a facility and destination, you specify a severity level
for each facility. Messages from the facility that are rated at that level or higher are
logged to the destination
[edit system syslog]
(console | file filename | host destination | user username) {
facility severity ;
}

(For information about the destinations, see [Unresolved xref],Directing Messages

to a User Terminal on page 12,Directing Messages to the Console on page 13 and
Directing Messages to a Remote Machine or the Other Routing Engine on page 13.)
To log messages belonging to more than one facility to a particular destination,
specify each facility and associated severity as a separate statement within the set
of statements for the destination.
Table 9 on page 9 lists the facilities that you can specify in configuration statements
at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level.

Directing Messages to a Log File

To direct system log messages to a file in the /var/log directory of the local Routing
Engine, include the file statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog]
file filename {
facility severity ;
explicit-priority;
match "regular-expression";
structured-data {
brief;
}
archive {
files number ;
size size;
(world-readable | no-world-readable);
}
}

For the list of facilities and severity levels, see Specifying the Facility and Severity
of Messages to Include in the Log on page 9.
To prevent log files from growing too large, the JUNOS system logging utility by
default writes messages to a sequence of files of a defined size. By including the
archive statement, you can configure the number of files, their maximum size, and
who can read them, for either all log files or a certain log file. For more information,
see Configuring the Size and Number of Log Files on page 18.

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

Logging Messages in Structured-Data Format

In JUNOS 8.3 and later, you can log messages to a file in structured-data format
instead of the standard JUNOS format. Structured-data format provides more
information without adding significant length, and makes it easier for automated
applications to extract information from a message.
The structured-data format complies with Internet draft
draft-ietf-syslog-protocol-21.txt, The syslog Protocol, which at the time of this writing
is accessible at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-syslog-protocol-21.txt. The draft
establishes a standard message format regardless of the source or transport protocol
for logged messages.
To output messages to a file in structured-data format, include the structured-data
statement at the [edit system syslog file filename] hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog file filename]
facility severity ;
structured-data {
brief;
}

The optional brief statement suppresses the English-language text that appears by
default at the end of a message to describe the error or event. For information about
the fields in a structured-dataformat message, see Displaying a Log File from a
Single-Chassis System on page 37
The structured format is used for all messages logged to the file that are generated
by a JUNOS process or software library.

NOTE: If you include either or both of the explicit-priority and time-format statements
along with the structured-data statement, they are ignored. These statements apply
to the standard JUNOS system log format, not to structured-data format.

Directing Messages to a User Terminal

To direct system log messages to the terminal session of one or more specific users
(or all users) when they are logged in to the local Routing Engine, include the user
statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog]
user (username | *) {
facility severity ;
match "regular-expression";
}

Specify one or more JUNOS usernames, separating multiple values with spaces, or
use the asterisk (*) to indicate all users who are logged in to the local Routing Engine.
For the list of facilities and severity levels, see Specifying the Facility and Severity
of Messages to Include in the Log on page 9. For information about the match

statement, see Using Regular Expressions to Refine the Set of Logged

Messages on page 23

Directing Messages to the Console

To direct system log messages to the console of the local Routing Engine, include
the console statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog]
console {
facility severity ;
}

For the list of facilities and severity levels, see Specifying the Facility and Severity
of Messages to Include in the Log on page 9

Directing Messages to a Remote Machine or the Other Routing Engine

To direct system log messages to a remote machine or to the other Routing Engine
on the routing platform, include the host statement at the [edit system syslog]
hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog]
host (hostname | other-routing-engine) {
facility severity ;
explicit-priority;
facility-override facility;
log-prefix string;
match "regular-expression";
}
source-address source-address;

To direct system log messages to a remote machine, include the host hostname
statement to specify the remote machines IP version 4 (IPv4) address, IP version 6
(IPv6) address, or fully qualified hostname. The remote machine must be running
the standard syslogd utility. We do not recommend directing messages to another
Juniper Networks routing platform. In each system log message directed to the remote
machine, the hostname of the local Routing Engine appears after the timestamp to
indicate that it is the source for the message.
To direct system log messages to the other Routing Engine on a routing platform
with two Routing Engines installed and operational, include the host
other-routing-engine statement. The statement is not automatically reciprocal, so you
must include it in each Routing Engines configuration if you want them to direct
messages to each other. In each message directed to the other Routing Engine, the
string re0 or re1 appears after the timestamp to indicate the source for the message.
For the list of facilities and severity levels to configure under the host statement, see
Specifying the Facility and Severity of Messages to Include in the Log on page 9
To record facility and severity level information in each message, include the
explicit-priority statement. For more information, see Including Priority Information
in System Log Messages on page 19

Directing Messages to the Console

13

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

For information about the match statement, see Using Regular Expressions to Refine
the Set of Logged Messages on page 23
When directing messages to remote machines, you can include the source-address
statement to specify the IP address of the routing platform that is reported in the
messages as their source. In each host statement, you can also include the
facility-override statement to assign an alternative facility and the log-prefix statement
to add a string to each message. For more information, see the following sections:

Specifying an Alternative Source Address for System Log Messages on page 14

Changing the Alternative Facility Name for Remote Messages on page 14

Examples: Assigning an Alternative Facility on page 16

Adding a Text String to System Log Messages on page 17

Adding a String on page 17

Specifying an Alternative Source Address for System Log Messages

To specify the routing platform that is reported in system log messages as their source
when they are directed to a remote machine, include the source-address statement
at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog]
source-address source-address;

source-address is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address configured on one of the routing

platform interfaces. The address is reported in the messages directed to all remote
machines specified in host hostname statements at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy
level, but not in messages directed to the other Routing Engine.

Changing the Alternative Facility Name for Remote Messages

Some facilities assigned to messages logged on the local routing platform have
JUNOS-specific names (see Table 9 on page 9 in Specifying the Facility and Severity
of Messages to Include in the Log on page 9. In the recommended configuration,
a remote machine designated at the [edit system syslog host hostname] hierarchy
level is not a Juniper Networks routing platform, so its syslogd utility cannot interpret
the JUNOS-specific names. To enable the standard syslogd utility to handle messages
from these facilities, when messages are directed to a remote machine a standard
localX facility name is used instead of the JUNOS-specific facility name.
Table 11 on page 14 lists the default alternative facility name used for each
JUNOS-specific facility name. For facilities that are not listed, the default alternative
name is the same as the local facility name.

The syslogd utility on a remote machine handles all messages that belong to a facility
in the same way, regardless of the source of the message (the Juniper Networks
routing platform or the remote machine itself). For example, the following statements
in the configuration of the routing platform called local-router direct messages from
the authorization facility to the remote machine monitor.mycompany.com:
[edit system syslog]
host monitor.mycompany.com {
authorization info;
}

The default alternative facility for the local authorization facility is also authorization.
If the syslogd utility on monitor is configured to write messages belonging to the
authorization facility to the file /var/log/auth-attempts, the file contains both the
messages generated when users log in to local-router and the messages generated
when users log in to monitor. Although the name of the source machine appears in
each system log message, the mixing of messages from multiple machines can make
it more difficult to analyze the contents of the auth-attempts file.
To make it easier to separate the messages from each source, you can assign an
alternative facility to all messages generated on local-router when they are directed
to monitor. You can then configure the syslogd utility on monitor to write messages
with the alternative facility to a different file from messages generated on monitor
itself.
To change the facility used for all messages directed to a remote machine, include
the facility-override statement at the [edit system syslog host hostname] hierarchy
level:
[edit system syslog host hostname]
facility severity ;
facility-override facility;

In general, it makes sense to specify an alternative facility that is not already in use
on the remote machine, such as one of the localX facilities. On the remote machine,
you must also configure the syslogd utility to handle the messages in the desired
manner.
Table 12 on page 16 lists the facilities that you can specify in the facility-override
statement.

We do not recommend including the facility-override statement at the [edit system

syslog host other-routing-engine] hierarchy level. It is not necessary to use alternative
facility names when directing messages to the other Routing Engine, because its
JUNOS system logging utility can interpret the JUNOS-specific names.

Examples: Assigning an Alternative Facility

Log all messages generated on the local routing platform at the error level or higher
to the local0 facility on the remote machine called monitor.mycompany.com:
[edit system syslog]
host monitor.mycompany.com {
any error;
facility-override local0;
}

Configure routing platforms located in and routing platforms located in New York to
send messages to a single remote machine called central-logger.mycompany.com. The
messages from California are assigned alternative facility local0 and the messages
from New York are assigned to alternative facility local2.

Configure California routing platforms to aggregate messages in the local0 facility:

[edit system syslog]
host central-logger.mycompany.com {

16

Examples: Assigning an Alternative Facility

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

change-log info;
facility-override local0;
}

Configure New York routing platforms to aggregate messages in the local2 facility:
[edit system syslog]
host central-logger.mycompany.com {
change-log info;
facility-override local2;
}

On central-logger, you can then configure the system logging utility to write messages
from the local0 facility to the file california-config and the messages from the local2
facility to the file new-york-config.

Adding a Text String to System Log Messages

To add a text string to every system log message directed to a remote machine or
to the other Routing Engine, include the log-prefix statement at the [edit system syslog
host] hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog host (hostname | other-routing-engine)]
facility severity ;
log-prefix string;

The string can contain any alphanumeric or special character except the equal sign
(=) and the colon (:). It also cannot include the space character; do not enclose the
string in quotation marks ( ) in an attempt to include spaces in it.
The JUNOS system logging utility automatically appends a colon and a space to the
specified string. The string is inserted after the identifier for the Routing Engine that
generated the message.

Adding a String
Add the string M120 to all messages to indicate that the router is an M120 router,
and direct the messages to the remote machine hardware-logger.mycompany.com:
[edit system syslog]
host hardware-logger.mycompany.com {
any info;
log-prefix M120;
}

When these configuration statements are included on an M120 router called origin1,
a message in the system log on hardware-logger.mycompany.com looks like the
following:
Mar 9 17:33:23 origin1 M120: mgd[477]: UI_CMDLINE_READ_LINE: user root,
command run show version

Adding a Text String to System Log Messages

17

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

Configuring the Size and Number of Log Files

To prevent log files from growing too large, the JUNOS system logging utility by
default writes messages to a sequence of files of a defined size. The files in the
sequence are referred to as archive files to distinguish them from the active file to
which messages are currently being written. The default maximum size depends on
the platform type:

128 kilobytes (KB) for J-series Services Routers

1 megabyte (MB) for M-series, MX-series, and T-series routing platforms

1 megabyte (MB) for M-series, MX-series, and T-series routing platforms

When an active log file called logfile reaches the maximum size, the logging utility
closes the file, compresses it, and names the compressed archive file logfile.0.gz. The
logging utility then opens and writes to a new active file called logfile. When the new
logfile reaches the configured maximum size,logfile.0.gz is renamed logfile.1.gz, and
the new logfile is closed, compressed, and renamed logfile.0.gz. By default, the logging
utility creates up to 10 archive files in this manner. When the maximum number of
archive files is reached, each time the active file reaches the maximum size the
contents of the oldest archive file are lost (overwritten by the next oldest file). The
logging utility by default also limits the users who can read log files to the root user
and users who have the JUNOS maintenance permission.
You can include the archive statement to change the maximum size of each file, how
many archive files are created, and who can read log files. To configure values that
apply to all log files, include the archive statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy
level:
[edit system syslog]
archive {
files number ;
size size;
(world-readable | no-world-readable);
}

To configure values that apply to a particular log file, include the archive statement
at the [edit system syslog file filename] hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog file filename]
facility severity ;
archive {
files number ;
size size;
(world-readable | no-world-readable);
}
files number specifies the number of files to create before the oldest file is overwritten.
The value can be from 1 through 1000.
size size specifies the maximum size of each file. The value can be from 64 KB (64k)
through 1 gigabyte (1g); to represent megabytes, use the letter m after the integer.
There is no space between the digits and the k, m, or g units letter.

Configuring the Size and Number of Log Files

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

world-readable enables all users to read log files. To restore the default permissions,
include the no-world-readable statement.

Including Priority Information in System Log Messages

A messages facility and severity level are together referred to as its priority. By
default, messages logged in the standard JUNOS format do not include information
about priority. To include priority information in standard-format messages directed
to a file, include the explicit-priority statement at the [edit system syslog file filename]
hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog file filename]
facility severity ;
explicit-priority;

NOTE: Messages logged in structured-data format include priority information by

default (structured-data format is available in JUNOS 8.3 and later and for file
destinations only). If you include the structured-data statement at the [edit system
syslog file filename] hierarchy level along with the explicit-priority statement, the
explicit-priority statement is ignored and messages are logged in structured-data format.
For information about the structured-data statement, see Logging Messages in
Structured-Data Format on page 12. For information about the contents of a
structured-data message, see Displaying a Log File from a Single-Chassis
System on page 37.

To include priority information in messages directed to a remote machine or the

other Routing Engine, include the explicit-priority statement at the [edit system syslog
host (hostname | other-routing-engine)] hierarchy level:
[edit system syslog host (hostname | other-routing-engine)]
facility severity ;
explicit-priority;

The priority recorded in a message always indicates the original, local facility name.
If the facility-override statement is included for messages directed to a remote
destination, the JUNOS system logging utility still uses the alternative facility for the
messages themselves when directing them to the remote destination. For more
information about alternative facilities, see Changing the Alternative Facility Name
for Remote Messages on page 14.
When the explicit-priority statement is included, the JUNOS logging utility prepends
codes for the facility name and severity level to the message tag name, if the message
has one:
FACILITY-severity[-TAG]

(The tag is a unique identifier assigned to some JUNOS system log messages; for
more information, see Interpreting System Log Messages on page 38 and
Displaying and Interpreting System Log Message Descriptions on page 49.)

For more information about message formatting, see Displaying and Interpreting
System Log Messages on page 37.

Including the Year or Millisecond in Timestamps

By default, the timestamp recorded in a standard-format system log message specifies
the month, date, hour, minute, and second when the message was logged, as in the
following example:
Aug 21 12:36:30

To include the year, the millisecond, or both in the timestamp, include the time-format
statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level:
edit system syslog]
time-format (year | millisecond | year millisecond);

The modified timestamp is used in messages directed to each destination configured

by a file, console, or user statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level, but
not to destinations configured by a host statement.

22

Including the Year or Millisecond in Timestamps

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

The following example illustrates the format for a timestamp that includes both the
millisecond (401) and the year (2006):
Aug 21 12:36:30.401 2006

NOTE: Messages logged in structured-data format (available in JUNOS 8.3 and later
for file destinations) include the year and millisecond by default. If you include the
structured-data statement at the [edit system syslog file filename] hierarchy level along
with the time-format statement, the time-format statement is ignored and messages
are logged in structured-data format.
For information about the structured-data statement, see Logging Messages in
Structured-Data Format on page 12. For information about the information in a
structured-data message, see Displaying a Log File from a Single-Chassis
System on page 37.

Using Regular Expressions to Refine the Set of Logged Messages

The predefined facilities group together related messages, but you can also use regular
expression matching to specify more exactly which messages from a facility are
logged to a file, a user terminal, or a remote destination.
To specify the text string that must (or must not) appear in a message for the message
to be logged to a destination, include the match statement and specify the regular
expression which the text string must match:
match "regular-expression";

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit system syslog file filename] (for a file)

[edit system syslog user (username | *)] (for the terminal session of one or all
users)

[edit system syslog host (hostname | other-routing-engine)] (for a remote destination)

In specifying the regular expression, use the notation defined in POSIX Standard
1003.2 for extended (modern) UNIX regular expressions. Explaining regular
expression syntax is beyond the scope of this document, but POSIX standards are
available from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE,
http://www.ieee.org).
Table 15 on page 24 specifies which character or characters are matched by some
of the regular expression operators that you can use in the match statement. In the
descriptions, the term term refers to either a single alphanumeric character or a set
of characters enclosed in square brackets, parentheses, or braces.

NOTE: The match statement is not case-sensitive.

matches any letter or number.

( ) (paired parentheses)

One instance of the evaluated value of the enclosed term. Parentheses

are used to indicate the order of evaluation in the regular expression.

Filter messages that belong to the interactive-commands facility, directing those that
include the string configure to the terminal of the root user:
[edit system syslog]
user root {
interactive-commands any;
match .*configure.*;
}

Messages like the following appear on the root users terminal when a user issues a
configure command to enter configuration mode:
timestamp router-name mgd[PID]: UI_CMDLINE_READ_LINE: User 'user', command
'configure private'

Filter messages that belong to the daemon facility and have severity error or higher,
directing them to the file /var/log/process-errors. Omit messages generated by the
SNMP process (snmpd), instead directing them to the file /var/log/snmpd-errors:
[edit system syslog]
file process-errors {
daemon error;
match !(.*snmpd.*);
}

24

file snmpd-errors {
daemon error;
match .*snmpd.*;
}

Disabling Logging of a Facility

To disable the logging of messages that belong to a particular facility, include the
facility none statement in the configuration. This statement is useful when, for
example, you want to log messages that have the same severity level and belong to
all but a few facilities. Instead of including a statement for each facility you want to
log, you can include the any severity statement and then a facility none statement for
each facility that you do not want to log. For example, the following logs all messages
at the error level or higher to the console, except for messages from the daemon and
kernel facilities. Messages from those facilities are logged to the file /var/log/internals
instead:
[edit system syslog]
console {
any error;
daemon none;
kernel none;
}
file internals {
daemon info;
kernel info;
}

Examples: Configuring System Logging

Log messages about all commands entered by users at the CLI prompt or invoked
by client applications such as JUNOScript or NETCONF clients, and all authentication

syslog {
file cli-commands {
interactive-commands info;

}

Log all changes in the state of alarms to the file /var/log/alarms:

}

Configure the handling of messages of various types, as described in the comments.

Information is logged to two files, to the terminal of user alex, to a remote machine,
and to the console:
[edit system]
syslog {
/* write all security-related messages to file /var/log/security */
file security {

interactive-commands info;
}
/* write messages about potential problems to file /var/log/messages: */
/* messages from authorization facility at level notice and above, */
/* messages from all other facilities at level warning and above */
file messages {

any warning;
}
/* write all messages at level critical and above to terminal of user alex if */
/* that user is logged in */
user alex {
any critical;
}
/* write all messages from the daemon facility at level info and above, and */
/* messages from all other facilities at level warning and above, to the */
/* machine monitor.mycompany.com */
host monitor.mycompany.com {

any warning;
}
/* write all messages at level error and above to the system console */

}
}

Configure the handling of messages generated when users issue JUNOS CLI
commands, by specifying the interactive-commands facility at the following severity
levels:

/var/log/user-actions.

noticeLogs a message when users issue the configuration mode commands

rollback and commit. The example writes the messages to the terminal of user
philip.

Configuring System Logging for a Routing Matrix

This section explains how to configure system logging for the T640 Internet routing
nodes and TX Matrix platform in a routing matrix. It assumes you are familiar with
system logging for single-chassis systems, as described in Configuring System
Logging for a Single-Chassis System on page 7. For more information about routing
matrixes, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide and the TX Matrix Platform
Hardware Guide.
To configure system logging for all platforms in a routing matrix, include the syslog
statement at the [edit system] hierarchy level on the TX Matrix platform. The syslog
statement applies to every platform in the routing matrix.
[edit system]
syslog {
archive {
files number ;
size size;
(world-readable | no-world-readable);
}
console {

}
file filename {

Configuring System Logging for a Routing Matrix

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

When included in the configuration on the TX Matrix platform, the following

configuration statements have the same effect as on a single-chassis system, except
that they apply to every platform in the routing matrix:

archiveSets the size and number of log files archived on each platform in the
routing matrix. See Configuring the Size and Number of Log Files on page 18

consoleDirects the specified messages to the console of each platform in the

routing matrix. See Directing Messages to the Console on page 13

fileDirects the specified messages to a file of the same name on each platform
in the routing matrix. See Directing Messages to a Log File on page 11

matchLimits the set of messages logged to a destination to those that contain

(or do not contain) a text string matching a regular expression. See Using Regular
Expressions to Refine the Set of Logged Messages on page 23
The separate match statement at the [edit system syslog host scc-master] hierarchy
level applies to messages forwarded from the T640 routing nodes to the TX
Matrix platform. See Configuring Optional Features for Forwarded
Messages on page 33.

source-addressSets the IP address of the routing platform to report in system

log messages as the message source, when the messages are directed to the
remote machines specified in all host hostname statements at the [edit system
syslog] hierarchy level, for each platform in the routing matrix. The address is
not reported in messages directed to the other Routing Engine on each platform
or forwarded to the TX Matrix platform by the T640 routing nodes. See
Specifying an Alternative Source Address for System Log Messages on page 14.

structured-dataWrites messages to a file in structured-data format. See

Logging Messages in Structured-Data Format on page 12.

time-formatAdds the millisecond, year, or both to the timestamp in each

standard-format message. See Including the Year or Millisecond in
Timestamps on page 22

userDirects the specified messages to the terminal session of one or more

specified users on each platform in the routing matrix that they are logged in to.
See Directing Messages to a User Terminal on page 12

The effect of the other statements differs somewhat for a routing matrix than for a
single-chassis system. For more information, see the following sections:

Configuring Message Forwarding in the Routing Matrix on page 29

Configuring Optional Features for Forwarded Messages on page 33

Directing Messages to a Remote Destination from the Routing Matrix on page 34

Configuring System Logging Differently on Each Platform on page 35

Configuring Message Forwarding in the Routing Matrix

By default, the master Routing Engine on each T640 routing node forwards to the
master Routing Engine on the TX Matrix platform all messages from all facilities with
severity info and higher. To change the facility, the severity level, or both, include

Configuring System Logging for a Routing Matrix

29

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

the host scc-master statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level on the TX
Matrix platform:
[edit system syslog]
host scc-master {
facility severity ;
}

To disable message forwarding, set the facility to any and the severity level to none:
[edit system syslog]
host scc-master {
any none;
}

In either case, the setting applies to all T640 routing nodes in the routing matrix.
To capture the messages forwarded by the T640 routing nodes (as well as messages
generated on the TX Matrix platform itself), you must also configure system logging
on the TX Matrix platform. Direct the messages to one or more destinations by
including the appropriate statements at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level on
the TX Matrix platform:

To a file, as described in Directing Messages to a Log File on page 11

To the terminal session of one or more specific users (or all users), as described
in Directing Messages to a User Terminal on page 12.

To the console, as described in Directing Messages to the Console on page 13

To a remote machine that is running the syslogd utility or to the other Routing
Engine. For more information, see Directing Messages to a Remote Destination
from the Routing Matrix on page 34

As previously noted, the configuration statements included on the TX Matrix platform

also configure the same destinations on each T640 routing node.
When specifying the severity level for local messages (at the [edit system syslog (file
| host | console | user)] hierarchy level) and forwarded messages (at the [edit system
syslog host scc-master] hierarchy level), you can set the same severity level for both,
set a lower severity level for local messages, or set a higher severity level for local
messages. The following examples describe the consequence of each configuration.
(For simplicity, the examples use the any facility in every case. You can also specify
different severities for different facilities, with more complex consequences.)

Same on page 30

Messages Logged When Local Severity Level Is Lower on page 31

Messages Logged When Local Severity Level Is Higher on page 32

Messages Logged When Local and Forwarded Severity Level Are the Same
When the severity level is the same for local and forwarded messages, the log on
the TX Matrix platform contains all messages from the logs on the T640 routing

nodes. For example, you can specify severity info for the /var/log/messages file,
which is the default severity level for messages forwarded by T640 routing nodes:
[edit system syslog]
file messages {
any info;
}

Messages Logged When Local Severity Level Is Lower

When the severity level is lower for local messages than for forwarded messages,
the log on the TX Matrix platform includes fewer forwarded messages than when
the severities are the same. Locally generated messages are still logged at the lower
severity level, so their number in each log is the same as when the severities are the
same.
For example, you can specify severity notice for the /var/log/messages file and
severity critical for forwarded messages
[edit system syslog]
file messages {
any notice;
}
host scc-master {
any critical;
}

Messages Logged When Local Severity Level Is Lower

31

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

Table 17 on page 32 specifies which messages are included in the logs on the T640
routing nodes and the TX Matrix platform. The T640 routing nodes forward only
those messages with severity critical and higher, so the log on the TX Matrix platform
does not include the messages with severity error, warning, or notice that the T640
routing nodes log locally:

Messages Logged When Local Severity Level Is Higher

When the severity level is higher for local messages than for forwarded messages,
the log on the TX Matrix platform includes fewer forwarded messages than when
the severities are the same, and all local logs contain fewer messages overall.
For example, you can specify severity critical for the /var/log/messages file and
severity notice for forwarded messages:
[edit system syslog]
file messages {
any critical;
}
host scc-master {
any notice;
}

Table 18 on page 32 specifies which messages are included in the logs on the T640
routing nodes and the TX Matrix platform. Although the T640 routing nodes forward
messages with severity notice and higher, the TX Matrix platform discards any of
those messages with severity lower than critical (does not log forwarded messages
with severity error, warning, or notice). None of the logs include messages with severity
error or lower.

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

We do not recommend this type of configuration, because it wastes bandwidth for

the routing nodes to forward messages that are not recorded in the log on the TX
Matrix platform.

Configuring Optional Features for Forwarded Messages

To configure additional optional features when specifying how the T640 routing
nodes forward messages to the TX Matrix platform, include statements at the [edit
system syslog host scc-master] hierarchy level. To include priority information (facility
and severity level) in each forwarded message, include the explicit-priority statement.
To insert a text string in each forwarded message, include the log-prefix statement.
To use regular expression matching to specify more exactly which messages from
a facility are forwarded, include the match statement.
[edit system syslog host scc-master]
facility severity ;
explicit-priority;
log-prefix string;
match "regular-expression";
}

NOTE: You can also include the facility-override statement at the [edit system syslog
host scc-master] hierarchy level, but we do not recommend doing so. It is not
necessary to use alternative facilities for messages forwarded to the TX Matrix
platform, because it runs the JUNOS system logging utility and can interpret the
JUNOS-specific facilities. For more information about alternative facilities, see
Changing the Alternative Facility Name for Remote Messages on page 14
1. Including Priority Information in Forwarded Messages on page 33
2. Adding a Text String to Forwarded Messages on page 34
3. Using Regular Expressions to Refine the Set of Forwarded Messages on page 34

Including Priority Information in Forwarded Messages

When you include the explicit-priority statement at the [edit system syslog host
scc-master] hierarchy level, messages forwarded to the TX Matrix platform include
priority information. For the information to appear in a log file on the TX Matrix
platform, you must also include the explicit-priority statement at the [edit system syslog
file filename] hierarchy level for the file on the TX Matrix platform. As a consequence,
the log file with the same name on each platform in the routing matrix also includes
priority information for locally generated messages.
To include priority information in messages directed to a remote machine from all
platforms in the routing matrix, also include the explicit-priority statement at the [edit
system syslog host hostname] hierarchy level for the remote machine. For more
information, see Directing Messages to a Remote Destination from the Routing
Matrix on page 34.
In the following example, the /var/log/messages file on all platforms includes priority
information for messages with severity notice and higher from all facilities. The log

Configuring Optional Features for Forwarded Messages

33

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

on the TX Matrix platform also includes messages with those characteristics forwarded
from the T640 routing nodes.
[edit system syslog]
host scc-master {
any notice;
explicit-priority;
}
file messages {
any notice;
explicit-priority;
}

Adding a Text String to Forwarded Messages

When you include the log-prefix statement at the [edit system syslog host scc-master]
hierarchy level, the string that you define appears in every message forwarded to
the TX Matrix platform. For more information, see Adding a Text String to System
Log Messages on page 17

Using Regular Expressions to Refine the Set of Forwarded Messages

When you include the match statement at the [edit system syslog host scc-master]
hierarchy level, the regular expression that you specify controls which messages
from the T640 routing nodes are forwarded to the TX Matrix platform. The regular
expression is not applied to messages from the T640 routing notes that are directed
to destinations other than the TX Matrix platform. For more information about regular
expression matching, see Using Regular Expressions to Refine the Set of Logged
Messages on page 23

Directing Messages to a Remote Destination from the Routing Matrix

You can configure a routing matrix to direct system logging messages to a remote
machine or the other Routing Engine on each routing platform, just as on a
single-chassis system. Include the host statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy
level on the TX Matrix platform:
[edit system syslog]
host (hostname | other-routing-engine) {
facility severity ;
explicit-priority;
facility-override facility;
log-prefix string;
match "regular-expression";
}
source-address source-address;

The TX Matrix platform directs messages to a remote machine or the other Routing
Engine in the same way as a single-chassis system, and the optional statements
(explicit-priority, facility-override, log-prefix, match, and source-address) also have the
same effect as on a single-chassis system. For more information, see Directing
Messages to a Remote Machine or the Other Routing Engine on page 13

34

Adding a Text String to Forwarded Messages

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

For the TX Matrix platform to include priority information when it directs messages
that originated on a T640 routing node to the remote destination, you must also
include the explicit-priority statement at the [edit system syslog host scc-master]
hierarchy level
The other-routing-engine statement does not interact with message forwarding from
the T640 routing nodes to the TX Matrix platform. For example, if you include the
statement in the configuration for the Routing Engine in slot 0 (re0), the re0 Routing
Engine on each T640 routing node sends messages to the re1 Routing Engine on its
platform only. It does not also send messages directly to the re1 Routing Engine on
the TX Matrix platform.
Because the configuration on the TX Matrix platform applies to the T640 routing
nodes, any T640 routing node that has interfaces for direct access to the Internet
also directs messages to the remote machine. The consequences include the following:

If the T640 routing nodes are configured to forward messages to the TX Matrix
platform (as in the default configuration), the remote machine receives two
copies of some messages: one directly from the T640 routing node and the other
from the TX Matrix platform. Which messages are duplicated depends on whether
the severities are the same for local logging and for forwarded messages. For
more information, see Configuring Message Forwarding in the Routing
Matrix on page 29

If the source-address statement is configured at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy

level, all platforms in the routing matrix report the same source routing platform
in messages directed to the remote machine. This is appropriate, because the
routing matrix functions as a single routing platform.

If the log-prefix statement is included, the messages from all platforms in the
routing matrix include the same text string. You cannot use the string to
distinguish between the platforms in the routing matrix

Configuring System Logging Differently on Each Platform

We recommend that all platforms in a routing matrix use the same configuration,
which implies that you include system logging configuration statements on the TX
Matrix platform only. In rare circumstances, however, you might choose to log
different messages on different platforms. For example, if one platform in the routing
matrix is experiencing problems with authentication, a Juniper Networks support
representative might instruct you to log messages from the authorization facility on
that platform.
To configure platforms separately, include configuration statements in the appropriate
groups at the [edit groups] hierarchy level on the TX Matrix platform:

To configure settings that apply to the TX Matrix platform but not the T640
routing nodes, include them in the re0 and re1 configuration groups.

To configure settings that apply to particular T640 routing nodes, include them
in the lccn-re0 and lccn-re1 configuration groups, where n is the line-card chassis
(LCC) index number of the routing node

Configuring System Logging Differently on Each Platform

35

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

When you use configuration groups, do not issue CLI configuration-mode commands
to change the statements at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level on the TX Matrix
platform. If you do, the resulting statements overwrite the statements defined in
configuration groups and apply to the T640 routing nodes also. (We further
recommend that you do not issue CLI configuration-mode commands on the T640
routing nodes at any time.)
For more information about the configuration groups for a routing matrix, see the
chapter about configuration groups in the JUNOS CLI User Guide.
The following example shows how to configure the /var/log/messages files on three
platforms to include different sets of messages:

On the TX Matrix platform, local messages with severity info and higher from
all facilities. The file does not include messages from the T640 routing nodes,
because the host scc-master statement disables message forwarding.

On the T640 routing node designated LCC0, messages from the authorization
facility with severity info and higher.

On the T640 routing node designated LCC1, messages with severity notice from
all facilities.

This section explains how to display a log file and interpret the contents of system
log messages:
For more information about the commands discussed in this section, see the JUNOS
System Basics and Services Command Reference.

Examples: Displaying a Log File on page 48

Displaying a Log File from a Single-Chassis System

To display a log file stored on a single-chassis system, enter JUNOS CLI operational
mode and issue either of the following commands:
user@host> show loglog-filename
user@host> file show log-file-pathname

By default, the commands display the file stored on the local Routing Engine. To
display the file stored on a particular Routing Engine, prefix the file- or pathname
with the string re0 or re1 and a colon. The following examples both display the
/var/log/messages file stored on the Routing Engine in slot 1:
user@host> show log re1:messages
user@host> file show re1:/var/log/messages

For information about the fields in a log message, see Interpreting System Log
Messages on page 38. For examples, see Examples: Displaying a Log
File on page 48

Displaying a Log File from a Routing Matrix

One way to display a log file stored on the local Routing Engine of any of the individual
platforms in a routing matrix (T640 routing nodes or TX Matrix platform) is to log in
to a Routing Engine on the platform, enter JUNOS CLI operational mode, and issue
the show log or file show command described in Displaying a Log File from a
Single-Chassis System on page 37

Displaying and Interpreting System Log Messages

37

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

To display a log file stored on a T640 routing node during a terminal session on the
TX Matrix platform, issue the show log or file show command and add a prefix that
specifies the T640 routing nodes LCC index number as lccn, followed by a colon.
The index can be from 0 (zero) through 3:
user@host> show log lccn:log-filename
user@host> file show lccn:log-file-pathname

By default, the show log and file show commands display the specified log file stored
on the master Routing Engine on the T640 routing node. To display the log from a
particular Routing Engine, prefix the file- or pathname with the string lccn-master,
lccn-re0, or lccn-re1, followed by a colon. The following examples all display the
/var/log/messages file stored on the master Routing Engine (in slot 0) on routing
node LCC2:
user@host>
user@host>
user@host>
user@host>

show log lcc2:messages

show log lcc2-master:messages
show log lcc2-re0:messages
file show lcc2:/var/log/messages

If the T640 routing nodes are forwarding messages to the TX Matrix platform (as in
the default configuration), another way to view messages generated on a T640 routing
node during a terminal session on the TX Matrix platform is simply to display a local
log file. However, the messages are intermixed with messages from other T640
routing nodes and the TX Matrix platform itself. For more information about message
forwarding, see Configuring Message Forwarding in the Routing Matrix on page 29.
For information about the fields in a log message, see Interpreting System Log
Messages on page 38. For examples, see Examples: Displaying a Log
File on page 48

Interpreting System Log Messages

The fields in a message written to the system log depend on whether the message
was generated by a JUNOS process or subroutine library, or by services on a PIC,
and whether it is in standard format or structured-data format. For more information,
see the following sections:

Interpreting Messages Generated in Structured-Data Format on page 38

Interpreting Messages Generated in Standard Format by a JUNOS Process or

Library on page 43

Interpreting Messages Generated in Standard Format by Services on a

PIC on page 44

Interpreting Messages Generated in Structured-Data Format

Beginning in JUNOS Release 8.3, when the structured-data statement is included in
the configuration for a log file, JUNOS processes and software libraries write messages
to the file in structured-data format instead of the standard JUNOS format. For
information about the structured-data statement, see Logging Messages in
Structured-Data Format on page 12.

Interpreting Messages Generated in Structured-Data Format

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

Structured-format makes it easier for automated applications to extract information

from the message. In particular, the standardized format for reporting the value of
variables (elements in the English-language message that vary depending on the
circumstances that triggered the message) makes it easy for an application to extract
those values. In standard format, the variables are interspersed in the message text
and not identified as variables.
The structured-data format for a message includes the following fields (which appear
here on two lines only for legibility):
<priority code>version timestamp hostname process processID TAG [[email protected]
variable-value-pairs] message-text

Table 19 on page 39 describes the fields. If the system logging utility cannot determine
the value in a particular field, a hyphen ( - ) appears instead.

Interpreting Messages Generated in Structured-Data Format

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

Interpreting Messages Generated in Standard Format by a JUNOS Process

or Library
The syntax of a standard-format message generated by a JUNOS software process
or subroutine library depends on whether it includes priority information

When the explicit-priority statement is included at the [edit system syslog file
filename] or [edit system syslog host (hostname | other-routing-engine)] hierarchy
level, a system log message has the following syntax:
timestamp

message-source: %facilityseverityTAG: message-text

When directed to the console or to users, or when the explicit-priority statement

is not included for files or remote hosts, a system log message has the following
syntax:
timestamp

message-source: TAG: message-text

Table 22 on page 43 describes the message fields.

Table 22: Fields in Standard-Format Messages Generated by a JUNOS Process or
Library
Field

Description

timestamp

Time at which the message was logged.

message-source

Identifier of the process or component that generated the message and the
routing platform on which the message was logged. This field includes two or
more subfields, depending on how system logging is configured. See Format
of the message-source Field on page 45

facility

Code that specifies the facility to which the system log message belongs. For
a mapping of codes to facility names, see Table 13 on page 20.

severity

Numerical code that represents the severity level assigned to the system log
message. For a mapping of codes to severity names, see Table 14 on page 21.

TAG

Text string that uniquely identifies the message, in all uppercase letters and
using the underscore (_) to separate words. The tag name begins with a prefix
that indicates the generating software process or library. The entries in this
reference are ordered alphabetically by this prefix.
Not all processes on a routing platform use tags, so this field does not always
appear.
For a list of prefixes for the tags described in this reference, see System Log
Messages on page 53.

message-text

Text of the message. For the text for each message, see the chapters following
System Log Messages on page 53

Interpreting Messages Generated in Standard Format by a JUNOS Process or Library

43

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

Interpreting Messages Generated in Standard Format by Services on a PIC

Standard-format system log messages generated by services on a PIC, such as the
Adaptive Services (AS) PIC, have the following syntax:
timestamp (FPC Slot fpc-slot, PIC Slot pic-slot) {service-set} [SERVICE]:
optional-string TAG: message-text

NOTE: System logging for services on PICs is not configured at the [edit system syslog]
hierarchy level as discussed in this chapter. For configuration information, see the
JUNOS Services Interfaces Configuration Guide.
The (FPC Slot fpc-slot, PIC Slot pic-slot) field appears only when the standard system
logging utility that runs on the Routing Engine writes the messages to the system
log. When the PIC writes the message directly, the field does not appear.

Table 23 on page 44 describes the message fields.

Table 23: Fields in Messages Generated by a PIC

44

Field

Description

timestamp

Time at which the message was logged.

fpc-slot

Slot number of the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) that houses the PIC that
generated the message.

pic-slot

Number of the PIC slot on the FPC in which the PIC that generated the
message resides.

service-set

Name of the service set that generated the message.

SERVICE

Code representing the service that generated the message. The codes include
the following:

FWNATNetwork Address Translation (NAT) service

IDSIntrusion detection service

optional-string

A text string that appears if the configuration for the PIC includes the
log-prefix statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name services-options
syslog] hierarchy level. For more information, see the JUNOS Services
Interfaces Configuration Guide.

TAG

Text string that uniquely identifies the message, in all uppercase letters and
using the underscore (_) to separate words. The tag name begins with a
prefix that indicates the generating PIC. The entries in this reference are
ordered alphabetically by this prefix.

message-text

Text of the message. For the text of each message, see System Log
Messages on page 53.

Interpreting Messages Generated in Standard Format by Services on a PIC

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

Format of the message-source Field

The message-source field discussed in Interpreting Messages Generated in Standard
Format by a JUNOS Process or Library on page 43 has two or more subfields,
depending on whether the message is logged on a single-chassis system or on a
platform in a routing matrix, and whether message forwarding is configured in the
routing matrix.
For more information, see the following sections:

The message-source Field on a Single-Chassis System on page 45

The message-source Field on a TX Matrix Platform on page 45

The message-source Field on a T640 Routing Node in a Routing Matrix on page 47

The message-source Field on a Single-Chassis System

The format of the message-source field in a message on a single-chassis system
depends on whether the message was generated on the local Routing Engine or the
other Routing Engine (on a system with two Routing Engines installed and
operational). Messages from the other Routing Engine appear only if its configuration
includes the other-routing-engine statement at the [edit system syslog host] hierarchy
level.

When the local Routing Engine generated the message, there are two subfields:
hostname process[process-ID]

When the other Routing Engine generated the message, there are three subfields:
hostname reX process[process-ID]

hostname is the hostname of the local Routing Engine.

process[process-ID] is the name and PID of the process that generated the message.
If the reX field also appears, the process is running on the other Routing Engine. If
a process does not report its PID, the [process-ID] part does not appear.
reX indicates that the other Routing Engine generated the message (X is 0 or 1).

The message-source Field on a TX Matrix Platform

The format of the message-source field in a message on a TX Matrix platform depends
on several factors:

Whether the message was generated on the TX Matrix platform or a T640 routing
node in the routing matrix. By default, the master Routing Engine on each T640
routing node forwards messages from all facilities with severity info and higher
to the master Routing Engine on the TX Matrix platform. When you configure
system logging on the TX Matrix platform, its logs include the forwarded
messages. For more information, see Configuring Message Forwarding in the
Routing Matrix on page 29

The message-source Field on a Single-Chassis System

45

JUNOS 9.3 System Log Messages Reference

Whether the message was generated on the local Routing Engine or the other
Routing Engine on the originating machine (TX Matrix platform or T640 routing
node). Messages from the other Routing Engine appear only if its configuration
includes the other-routing-engine statement at the [edit system syslog host]
hierarchy level.

Whether the message was generated by a kernel or user-space process, or by

the microkernel on a hardware component.

Table 24 on page 46 specifies the format of the message-source field in the various
cases.

the message (X is 0 or 1). The routing node has the indicated LCC index number (Y
matches the value in the lccY-master field.
lccY-componentZ process identifies the hardware component and process on the
T640 routing node that generated the message (Y matches the value in the lccY-master
field and the range of values for Z depends on the component type). For example,

46

The message-source Field on a TX Matrix Platform

Chapter 1: Configuring System Log Messages

lcc2-fpc1 PFEMAN refers to a process on the FPC in slot 1 on the T640 routing node

with index LCC2.

process[process-ID] is the name and PID of the kernel or user-space process that
generated the message. If the scc-reX or lccY-reX field also appears, the process is
running on the other Routing Engine. If a process does not report its PID, the
[process-ID] part does not appear.
scc-componentZ process identifies the hardware component and process on the TX
Matrix platform that generated the message (the range of values for Z depends on
the component type). For example, spmb1 GSIB refers to a process on one of the
processor boards in the Switch Interface Board (SIB) with index 1.
scc-reX indicates that the other Routing Engine on the TX Matrix platform generated
the message (X is 0 or 1).

The message-source Field on a T640 Routing Node in a Routing Matrix

The format of the message-source field in a message on a T640 routing node in a
routing matrix depends on two factors:

Whether the message was generated on the local Routing Engine or the other
Routing Engine. Messages from the other Routing Engine appear only if its
configuration includes the other-routing-engine statement at the [edit system syslog
host] hierarchy level.

Whether the message was generated by a kernel or user-space process, or by

the microkernel on a hardware component.

of values for Z depends on the component type). For example, lcc0-fpc0 CMLC refers
to a process on the FPC in slot 0. The T640 routing node has index LCC0 in the
routing matrix.
lccY-reX indicates that the other Routing Engine on the routing node generated the
message (Y matches the value in thehostname-lccY field and X is 0 or 1).
process[process-ID] is the name and PID of the kernel or user-space process that
generated the message. If thelccY-reX field also appears, the process is running on
the other Routing Engine. If a process does not report its PID, the [process-ID] part
does not appear.

Getting Help About System Log Messages

System log message tag names begin with a prefix that indicates which JUNOS
software process, subroutine library, or service on a PIC generated the message. This
section explains how to learn more about the messages with each prefix, both in
this reference and while you are using the CLI.
For a list of the prefixes for messages described in this reference, see System Log
Messages on page 53. For information about displaying and interpreting messages,
see the following sections:

Displaying and Interpreting System Log Message Descriptions on page 49

Displaying and Interpreting System Log Message Descriptions

This reference lists the messages available at the time of its publication. To display
the list of messages that applies to the version of the JUNOS software that is running
on a routing platform, enter JUNOS CLI operational mode and issue the following
command:
user@host> help syslog ?

To display the list of available descriptions for tags whose names begin with a specific
character string, substitute the string (in all capital letters) for the variable TAG-PREFIX
(there is no space between the prefix and the question mark):
user@host> help syslog TAG-PREFIX?

To display the complete descriptions for tags whose name includes a regular
expression, substitute the expression for the variable regex. The match is not
case-sensitive.
user@host> help syslog regex

To display the complete description of a particular message, substitute its name for
the variable TAG (in all capital letters):
user@host> help syslog TAG

level. The events include the ones reported by the ASP_IDS_TCP_SYN_ATTACK,
ASP_SFW_SYN_DEFENSE, and ASP_SFW_TCP_SCAN system log messages. When
SYN cookie protection is activated for a flow to a destination and the TCP handshake
has not completed, the stateful firewall generates a SYN/ACK packet for each SYN
packet directed to the destination.

The stateful firewall discarded the packet with the indicated characteristics, because
the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) handshake that is used to establish a session
did not complete quickly enough. The time limit is set by the 'open-timeout' statement
at the [edit interfaces <services-interface> services-options] hierarchy level or is
four seconds by default. The event was reported to intrusion detection services (IDS)
and can cause IDS to activate SYN cookie protection. The discarded packet contained
the indicated information about its protocol (numerical identifier and name), source
(logical interface name, IP address, and port number), and destination (IP address
and port number).
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
notice
Possible causes for the handshake failure include the following: (1) sequence numbers
did not match in a SYN packet and a previous SYN packet (the second packet was
not a retransmission) (2) sequence numbers did not match in a SYN/ACK packet and
a previous SYN packet (3) either or both a SYN/ACK packet and an ACK packet did
not arrive at the firewall within the time limit.

Cause

One possible cause is that the chassis scheduler map is applied to a specific interface.
For most interface types, a scheduler map must be applied to all interfaces on the
Physical Interface Card (PIC); therefore, a wildcard must be used to specify the
interfaces. One exception to this rule is the Gigabit Ethernet IQ PIC.

System Log Message
Description

Type
Severity

IS-IS database overload

The IS-IS link-state database is full and no additional memory can be allocated for

Cause

No additional memory is available for storing IS-IS link-state information. Either

system resources are exhausted or a software error occurred (such as a memory leak
in the routing protocol process [rpd]). In the former case, IS-IS might be carrying too
much information, or the router configuration includes too many features that use
large amounts of system memory.

Action

Perform one or more of the following actions: (1) Check for unusually high memory
usage by the IS-IS task or rpd, (2) Unconfigure features that use large amounts of
memory, (3) Add more memory to the Routing Engine, (4) Carry fewer IS-IS routes.
