Using Regular
Expressions
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 user’s 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;
