[j-nsp] Templates for logging from EX series

[Wouter van den Bergh]

Hi,

We are quite new with Juniper so excuse me if these exists and i haven't been able to find them.

We have rolled out several networks with EX series chassis and switches(82xx, 42xx). Currently all logging ends up in /var/log/messages which becomes a terrible mess, especially when you try troubleshoot a problem. Also the messages log contains a whole lot of junk which generally isn't interesting to view.

Now I've seen at our EX training that you can create templates for the logging to be split out in other files to keep it clean and organised. Pretty much what i would like is to build a cisco alike logfile with just useful info, rather than all sorts of Linux kernel messages and what not.

I have tried in our LAB to play around with this, but i don't seem to understand the concept behind this.

Does anyone have any templates they want to share, or can point me to documentation with lots of examples?

Regards,

Wouter
