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;
}
Table 12 on page 29 specifies which messages are included in the logs on the T640 routing
nodes and the TX Matrix platform

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;
}
