format RFC-5424

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure the router to generate log messages with the RFC-5424 format.

The RFC-5424 syslog message header consists of the following fields:

<prival><version><space>< time-stamp><space><host-name><space><app name><space><process id><space><Msg Id>

Where:

• prival is the priority field. This is always <190> for SLXOS 17r.2.00.
• version is the version number of the syslog protocol standard. Currently, this can only be 1.
• time-stamp is the ISO 8601 compatible standard timestamp format (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss+-ZONE).
• host-name is the machine that originally sent the message, or if no hostname, a “-“ is present instead.
• app name is the device or application that generated the message, or if no application, a “-“ is present instead.
• process id is the process name or PID (process ID) of the syslog application that sent the message, or if no PID, a “-“ is present instead. This is always - in the SLX-OS 17r.2.00 release.
• Msg Id is the ID number of the message, or if no Message ID, a “-“ is present instead. This is always - in the SLX-OS 17r.2.00 release.

For example:

<190>1 2017-06-19T09:19:52.000003+00:00 SLX raslogd - - 

Note

In the SLX-OS 17r.2.00 release, the process id and Msg Id fields are not filled and are replaced with - -.

Use the no format RFC-5424 command to remove the RFC-5424 log message format from the syslog server configuration.
